Detailed Solution

Concept:
Snails belong to the phylum Mollusca. They are shelled organisms. Snails can be categorised as land snails and water snails depending on their habitat. Both these animals have various anatomical and morphological variations.
Snails possess a visceral mass or a hum shaped structure present below their shells. This is the area that possesses most of their body organs as well. Snails also possess a shell that is made up of calcium carbonate and it acts as a protective layer for their body. They do not possess any legs but they have a muscular foot that is present on the ventral side of their body and helps in movement.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
