Solution
The correct option is C pseudocoelomate Pseudocoelomate animals have a pseudocoelom (literally “false cavity”), which is a fluid-filled body cavity. A pseudocoelomate is an organism with a body cavity that is not derived from the mesoderm, as in a true coelom, or body cavity. A pseudocoelomate is also known as a blastocoelomate, as the body cavity is derived from the blastocoel, or cavity within the embryo.
