Solution
The correct option is C Annelida
Annelids are cylindrical worms with segmented bodies.
The circulatory system is closed, i.e., blood flows within the blood vessels.
Most annelids possess setae (earthworm) or parapodia (in aquatic annelids) composed of chitin that helps in movement.
Aschelminthes (roundworms) and poriferans have no circulatory or respiratory systems so they use diffusion to breathe and for the circulation of substances around their body.
