Solution
The correct option is B Platyhelminthes
The simplest animals that are bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic (composed of three fundamental cell layers) are the platyhelminths. These flatworms have no body cavity or coelom. Their body is unsegmented. They reproduce either sexually or asexually. They have parasitic forms like liverflukes. So, option B is correct.
