Solution

The correct option is A capturing food
Choanocytes line the spongocoel and the canals in sponges. They are flagellated cells and help in capturing food particles.
The body of a sponge is supported by a skeleton made up of spicules or spongin fibres. Sponges are generally sedentary. Respiration occurs with the help of the canal system.
