Choose an answer

A.A slug
B.A turtle
C.A hermit crab
D.A snail
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 6 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A snail

Why this is the answer

A snail's shell would be an impossibly heavy burden for a human to carry at that relative scale, and it leaves a shiny, silvery slime trail as it moves.
