Explanation:

To determine the characteristics of Phylum Mollusca, we recall the defining traits of mollusks: they have a soft body, often with one or two shells (like clams, snails), bilateral symmetry, and do not have an exoskeleton (arthropods do), segmented body (annelids/arthropods), or jointed appendages (arthropods). So the correct characteristics are "soft body", "bilateral symmetry", and "one or two shells".

Answer:

The characteristics of Phylum Mollusca are: soft body, bilateral symmetry, one or two shells. (The incorrect ones like exoskeleton, segmented body, jointed appendages belong to other phyla like Arthropoda or Annelida.)
