Solution

The correct option is C Gastrovascular cavity
Hydra is a genus of small, simple, fresh-water animals and has a radial symmetry. This feeds on small aquatic animals that are caught with the help of its tiny stinging cells on its tentacles. However, the moment food is put into the mouth, the process of digestion begins. Both extra cellular digestion and intra cellular digestion takes place in the gastro-vascular cavity of the body.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
