C. Arachnida

D. Chilopoda

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In Diplopoda arthropod class, gonophore is present in 3rd segment.
Diplopoda is two classes of arthropods. Both classes consist of terrestrial animals with a segmented body and jointed appendages. Chilopoda consists of a single pair of legs per body segment while Diplopoda consists of two pairs of legs per body segment.
The genital openings (gonopores) of both sexes are located on the underside of the third body segment (near the second pair of legs) and may be accompanied in the male by one or two penes which deposit the sperm packets onto the gonopods.
