Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Gastropods are the only mollusk group that glides about on a broad muscular foot. Bivalves are typically sedentary and do not have a muscular foot, while cephalopods use their arms for propulsion rather than a foot. D) all mollusk groups is not the best choice because not all mollusk groups have a broad muscular foot.
