<h2>Answer:</h2>

Antagonistic.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Muscles generally work in groups or pairs.
Muscles are connected to bones via tendons, these tendons and muscles help in movement of a joint.
When a muscle is put in contraction, usually only one bone moves. For example on contraction of biceps of the arm contracts then the radius moves but the scapula does not move.
This type of muscle action is called antagonistic muscle action. In which the muscle which is working is called the prime mover or agonist and the relaxing muscle is called the antagonist.

Result: The muscle action in which a muscle works against another muscle is called antagonistic.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.

expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
