Solution

The correct option is D

Assertion [A] and Reason [R] are True.


In platyhelminthes the coelom is filled a packing tissue called mesenchyme. So there is no space available for the formation of coelom as a result they are acoelomates. This feature is also an adaptation for their parasitic mode of nutrition.
