Garden snail belongs to which class of Mollusca?

Correct answer: A. Gastropoda

  • A. Gastropoda
  • B. Cephalopoda
  • C. Bivalvia
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The garden snail is a part of the class Gastropoda within the phylum Mollusca. Gastropods are the largest group of mollusks and are known for their single, often spirally coiled shells. Snails, including the garden snail (Helix aspersa), are typical examples of this class. Cephalopoda, such as octopuses and squids, and Bivalvia, such as clams and mussels, belong to different classes within Mollusca and have distinct characteristics and structures. Myriapoda is not a class within Mollusca but is a subphylum under Arthropoda, which includes centipedes and millipedes.
