Answer: Ctenophora.
- A Ctenophora
- B the phylum Cnidaria
- C only Echinodermata
- D a group of annelids
Correct answer: A. Ctenophora
Explanation: Ctenophores move using eight rows of comb plates.
Moving across the animal phyla, body organisation becomes progressively more complex: from no symmetry and cellular organisation (Porifera) through radial/diploblastic (Cnidaria), bilateral/acoelomate (Platyhelminthes), pseudocoelomate (Nematoda), to a true coelom with full organ systems (Annelida and beyond).
Concept context
Phylum-level classification of the animal kingdom from Porifera to Chordata, based on body symmetry, coelom, and segmentation. One of the most example-heavy chapters for NEET.
