- B(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
- C(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
- D(a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv)
Correct answer
B. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
Step-by-step solution
(a) Pseudocoelomate condition is a characteristic feature of Aschelminthes, where the body cavity is not lined by mesoderm. (b) Radial symmetry is exhibited by Ctenophora, along with Coelenterata and adult Echinodermata. (c) Acoelomate condition is seen in Platyhelminthes, as they lack a body cavity between the body wall and the gut wall. (d) Metamerism (true segmentation) is a characteristic feature of Annelida, where the body is externally and internally divided into segments. Therefore, the correct matching is (
