D Correct answer
Explanation

Annelids (segmented worms) have cylindrical bodies, segmented bodies (metameres), and bilateral symmetry - all are characteristic features. However, they inhabit diverse habitats including terrestrial (earthworms) and freshwater/freshwater environments. 'Aquatic habitat' is not a universal characteristic as many annelids like earthworms are terrestrial.
