A)A veliger is found strictly in terrestrial molluscs B)The trochophore is considered ancestral and the veliger is a derived larval stage C)The two larval forms represent two early and distinct branches of molluscs D)The veliger is ancestral and the trochophore is a derived larval stage E)Only the cephalopods have the veliger stage;all other molluscs have a trochophore stage
