Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect. Sponges are multicellular, but the cellular level of organization means that the cells do not form organized tissues. Sponges do have specialized cells and there are cooperation and coordination among the cells, but it is limited.
The cells of the body perform their functions more or less independently exhibiting division of labour. Hence, they possess a cellular level of organization. Tissue level organization is found in flatworms.
