Solution

The correct option is B Spiral cleavage
In deuterostomes, the first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus. There are three major clades of deuterostomes, the Chordata (vertebrates and their kin) Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.). They also have enterocoelom where it forms the archenteron and fold/pinches from endoderm and deuterostome is not related with spiral cleavage as most deuterostomes display indeterminate cleavage.
So, the correct option is 'spiral cleavage'.
