Solution

The correct option is C Water driven tube system
  • Echinoderms have a peculiar water-driven tube system that they use for moving around, food and waste transportation, and respiration.
  • The water vascular system includes a ring canal situated around the mouth, which gives tubular radial extensions, called radial canals.
  • Each radial canal ends blindly at the end of the arm and gives off along its course lateral vessels, each joining a tube foot as shown in the given figure.


So, the correct answer is option C.
