C)Ovoviviparous
D)Pseudoplacental
Solution
Scorpions belong to the order Scorpiones, which are predatory arachnids. They have eight legs and can be distinguished by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail that often curves forward over the back and always ends in a stinger. The evolution of scorpions can be traced back 435 million years.
Complete answer:
Scorpions are mostly found in deserts, but they have adapted to a variety of environments and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. There are over 2,500 species described, and 22 extant (living) families have been identified so far. Their taxonomy is being updated to reflect 21st-century genomic research.
Scorpions eat insects and other invertebrates primarily, but some species also eat vertebrates. Pincers are used to restrain and kill prey. Scorpions are preyed upon by larger predators. The venomous sting can be used to both kill and defend prey. During courtship, the male and female scorpions grab each other's pincers and dance around in a "dance" in which the male tries to catch the female scorpion.
All known species give live birth, and the female takes care of the young while their exoskeletons harden, carrying them on her back. The exoskeleton is made up of fluorescent chemicals that glow when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Scorpions belong to the arthropod family. These have a segmented body and are triploblastic. They are ovoviviparous (egg-laying). After hatching and expelling the embryonic membrane, the young are born one by one, and the brood is carried around on its mother's back until the young have gone through at least one molt.
Thus, the answer is option C.
Note: Scorpions appear in art, folklore, mythology, and commercial brands because of their powerful stingers. For protection from their sting, scorpion motifs are woven into kilim carpets. Scorpio is the astrological sign that corresponds to the constellation Scorpius. The giant scorpion and its enemy Orion became constellations on opposite sides of the sky, according to a myth about Scorpius.
