It's not a part of take-home exam. It is just practice question. I am just trying to confirm the answer.
That's what I have from wiki:

centipede
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Myriapoda
Class: Chilopoda

Millipede
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Uniramia
Class: Diplopoda

Now tell me why you choose the answer D?
