All mammals have hair or fur. Mammals are the only animals with true hair. Hair is made up of dead cells which contains a substance called keratin. Example: Fingernails are made of keratin. Even mammals that swim under the water (like dolphins and whales) have fine hair around their snout. Hair like structures on a fly or a spider actually contains living cells. That means if you cut a spider's hair it would hurt.

Answer: Option C. -> Platyhelminthes
:
C
Organisms belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes have dorsoventrally flattened body. Hence, they are commonly known as flatworms. Organisms like planaria, liver fluke, etc., belong to this phylum.

Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Someorganisms belonging to kingdom Monera have autotrophic mode of nutrition, while others are heterotrophic. Cyanobacteria which belongs to kingdom Monera arecapable of photosynthesis and are autotrophic. At the same time, there are certain type of bacteria which are heterotrophic and belongs to kingdom Monera.

Answer: Option A. -> Monera
:
A
Cyanobacteria or blue-green algae are a group of prokaryotes, which have chlorophylland can carry out their own photosynthesis. They belong to kingdom Monera. Monera consists of organisms that do not have a defined nucleus or organelles.
