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.
