Answer:

Solution:

The body of an organism is said to be segmented if it is divided into sections by means of some form of internal partition. In the given options:

Option A: Frog - Frogs are amphibians and their bodies are not segmented.

Option B: Cockroach - Cockroaches are insects, and their bodies are segmented into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.

Option C: Earthworm - Earthworms are annelids, and their bodies are visibly segmented both internally and externally.

Option D: Star Fish/Hydra - This is the correct answer. Starfish (echinoderms) and hydras (cnidarians) do not have segmented bodies. Their bodies have radial symmetry.
