Arthropod success cannot be attributed to which adaptation?

A) modified segments
B) jointed appendages
C) closed circulatory system
D) sensory specialization
E) specialized developmental stages

Closed Circulatory System

A circulatory system where blood is enclosed within vessels and circulates unidirectionally from the heart through the body and back to the heart.

Arthropod Success

The evolutionary success of arthropods, characterized by their adaptable exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed limbs, making them the most diverse group of animals.

Jointed Appendages

Refers to appendages with joints, enabling movement, commonly found in arthropods such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Arthropod success cannot be attributed to a closed circulatory system because not all arthropods have this adaptation. Some have an open circulatory system, which is less efficient but still allows for survival and reproduction. The other adaptations listed are commonly found in arthropods and contribute to their success.
