Solution

The correct option is A Mesoderm
The coelom, or true body cavity that contains the viscera, may be formed by one of two methods.
  • In schizocoelous formation, the coelom arises, from the splitting of mesodermal bands that originate from the blastopore region and grow between the ectoderm and endoderm.
  • In enterocoelous formation, the coelom comes from pouches of the archenteron, or primitive gut.
So, the correct option is 'Mesoderm'.
