A movie director asks his computer animation team to create a dragon with an exoskeleton, as such a skeleton will make it impervious to any attacks. Is this statement correct?
A) Yes, but only if this exoskeleton resembles the cuticle of arthropods and not the shells of mollusks. The shells of mollusks are remarkably brittle, whereas the cuticles of arthropods are not.
B) Yes, because damage to an exoskeleton is always easily repaired; the dragon could easily repair any portion of its exoskeleton that is damaged (without molting) .
C) Yes, because exoskeletons are remarkably effective over large surface areas. The size of the dragon actually contributes to the strength of its exoskeleton.
D) None of the answer options is correct.
