                      Horseshoe crabs
    2. Myriapoda
    These are multi-legged arthropods.
    Examples: Centipedes (Class Chilopoda)
                      Millipedes (Class Diplopoda)

    3. Hexapoda
    These include arthropods with six legs (three pairs).
    Examples:  Insects (ants, beetles, butterflies, springtails, etc.)
                      Springtails (technically Collembola, part of Hexapoda but not true insects)


    So, the correct answer is option b -  Horseshoe crabs, centipedes, springtails
