You are confronted with two soft, squishy creatures that, on first glance, appear to be very similar. Upon closer examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as a slug and the other as a leech. That key characteristic is: A. The presence of paired, jointed appendages B. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract C. The presence of a radula, a rasping organ used for feeding D. The presence of a ventral nerve cord E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow a slug to be distinguished from a leech
