Solution
The correct option is A Choanocytes
Sponges have cellular level of organization and thus, they do not have a distinct digestive system. The water canal system supports their circulatory, digestive, respiratory and excretory functions. The food particles are filtered through this system by choanocytes. They consist of a single flagella surrounded by microvilli. These cells cooperatively filter food particles for phagocytosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Choanocytes'
