Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first pair of walking legs in crustaceans such as crayfish, lobster, crab, and their relatives, is modified into chelipeds, which have a terminal claw used for grasping and manipulating objects. The other choices, such as protopodite, statocyst, pedipalp, and exopodite, refer to different structures or organs within crustaceans but are not directly related to the first pair of walking legs.
