Answer:

Phylum Nematoda

Explanation:

<u>Caenorhabditis.elegans</u> is a free-living transparent nematode about 1 mm in length.

C. elegans is a nematode—a member of the phylum Nematoda:

<u>Nematoda.</u>

The roundworms and threadworms, a phylum of smooth-skinned, unsegmented worms with a long cylindrical body shape tapered at the ends; includes free-living and parasitic forms both aquatic and terrestrial.

<u>C.</u> <u>elegans</u> is a non-hazardous, non-infectious, non-pathogenic, non-parasitic organism.  It is small, growing to about 1 mm in length, and lives in the soil—especially rotting vegetation—in many parts of the world, where it survives by feeding on microbes such as bacteria. It is of no economic importance to man.

Hawking states that much of human behavior has not been calculated to “aid in
ss7ja [257]

The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.
