Detailed explanation-1: -Juliidae, common name the bivalved gastropods, is a family of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Oxynooidea, an opisthobranch group. These are sacoglossan (sap-sucking) sea snails, and many of them are green in color.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops are members to the class Bivalvia (or Pelecypodia). Bivalves have two shells, connected by a flexible ligament, which encase and shield the soft vulnerable parts of the creature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, cockles, coquinas, and many more are all part of the class Bivalvia. Most soft-bodied, aquatic animals with two shells fall into this group. Bivalves are found in all types of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -d) Squid–This option is incorrect because squid is not an example of a bivalve.
