Solution
The correct option is C Fresh water mussel
Certain bivalves and freshwater mussels actively collect food like protozoa, larvae, eggs from the surrounding substrate. The food collected by tentacles is then transported to the mouth in a ciliated groove. Cilia are located in the mantle cavity which produces a water current from the ingestive syphon into the mantle cavity and out through the egestive syphon. So, the correct answer is option C.
