Classification – Animal classes/habitats: three are mammals; one is an insect. Identify the odd one out. Options: Langur, Whale, Scarab, Donkey.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Scarab

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Biological classification can separate options by class. Mammals share key traits distinct from insects, making the outlier easy to spot.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Langur: primate (mammal).
  • Whale: marine mammal.
  • Donkey: equid (mammal).
  • Scarab: beetle (insect).


Concept / Approach:
Group by biological class: Mammalia versus Insecta.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify Langur/Whale/Donkey as mammals.Identify Scarab as an insect.Therefore, Scarab is the odd one out.



Verification / Alternative check:
Taxonomic references confirm whales, langurs, and donkeys are mammals; scarabs are coleopteran insects.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Langur/Whale/Donkey: All belong to class Mammalia.



Common Pitfalls:
Assuming “whale” is a fish due to habitat; it is a mammal.



Final Answer:
Scarab
