Which organism is an arachnid?

Explanation:
Arthropods are grouped by body plan, and arachnids have eight legs in adults and typically two main body regions (cephalothorax and abdomen). They also lack antennae. The mite fits this pattern, being an arachnid with eight legs and the typical body structure. Fleas and lice are insects; they have six legs and three body segments, and maggots are the larval stage of a fly, also insects. So they don’t have the eight-legged arachnid design.
