Solution

The correct option is B Cnidaria
  • Polymorphism is the occurrence of multiple morphological forms.
  • It is common in members of the phylum Coelenterata.
  • The members of Cnidaria have life cycles that alternate between two forms: asexual polyps (generally sessile, with the body as a vase-shaped form), which are nutritive in function; and sexual, free-swimming forms called medusae (singular medusa, the body in a bell-shaped form), which are reproductive in function.

So, the correct answer is 'Cnidaria'.
