The correct answer is "Mite".
Crab, scorpion, and spider all belong to the class Arachnida. They are characterized by having two main body parts, four pairs of legs, and no antennae.
Mites, on the other hand, are a diverse group of arthropods that belong to the subclass Acari, which includes ticks and chiggers. Mites are characterized by having a single body part and only two pairs of legs. They can be parasitic or non-parasitic and have a wide range of lifestyles and ecological roles.
