Solution

The correct option is B sponges
Paragastral cavity is another term for spongocoel which is common to all sponges. It is lined by endodermal cells, which contains a single layer of collared, flagellated cells, called choanocytes. Choanocytes generate water currents. It helps in capturing food and also in capturing sperm for fertilization.
