    1. The correct option is (ii) Body with jointed legs. Insects belong to the phylum Arthropoda, whose defining structural feature is the presence of jointed appendages and legs attached to segmented body sections. While both earthworms and insects have bilateral symmetry and segmented bodies, an earthworm lacks legs entirely, making jointed appendages the definitive characteristic confirming it is an insect.
