Question

The most important consequence of segmentation in animals, from an evolutionary perspective, is that it A. allows organisms to grow much larger than would be possible without segmentation. B. reduces the surface area-to-volume ratio. C. allows body parts to be eaten by predators without killing the organism. D. increases the mobility of an organism. E. has allowed organisms to alter their body forms in complex ways since evolution can alter the easily duplicated segments
