Peripatus is connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.
It is a living fossil that has similarities to both arthropods ( such as absence of external segmentation, unjoined legs, the presence of cuticle, etc) and annelide(internal segmentation, eyes and segmentally arranged nephridia etc.)
Hence Peripatus exhibits characters as 'connecting link' of evolution.
So, the correct answer is 'Peripatus'.
