The correct answer is:
  Genus name Two characters  
a)  Pila      Body Segmented         Mouth with radula  Mollusca
Molluscs are soft-bodied animals, bilaterally symmetric, triploblastic and coelomate. Their soft body is covered by a calcareous shell and is unsegmented with a distinct head, muscular foot and visceral hump.
e.g. Pila (apple snail), sepia (cuttle fish), pinctada (pearl oyster), etc.
