Solution

The correct option is A Porifera
  • Members of Porifera do not have a digestive system. Hence they don't have a mouth and anus. The functions of the digestive system are performed by the canal system.
  • Coelenterates have a mouth and anus as they have a gastrovascular cavity.
  • Platyhelminthes have an incomplete digestive tract but mouth and anus are present.
  • Nematodes are pseudocoelomates and show the presence of a complete digestive system with a distinct mouth and anus.
So, the correct answer is option A.
