Solution

The correct option is C Lasso cells
Colloblasts are a cell type found in Ctenophora. They are widespread in the tentacles of these animals and are used to capture the prey. Colloblasts consist of a coiled spiral filament that is embedded in the epidermis and an axial filament with a granular dome. They are also called as the 'lasso cells'.
