Solution

The correct option is C Ectoprocta
The Bryozoa, also known as Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals, are a phylum of aquatic invertebrate animals. They are filter feeders that sieve food particles out of the water using a retractable lophophore a "crown" of tentacles lined with cilia. Most marine species live in tropical waters, but a few occur in oceanic trenches, and others are found in polar waters.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
