Solution

The correct option is B Comb plates
Pleurobrachia belong to the phylum Ctenophora. The body of these organisms are contain eight rows of external cilia, which joins together in each row to form comb plates. These comb plates act as the locomatory structure of Ctenophora.

Flame cells are specialized cells which help in osmoregulation and excretion in flatworms or Platyhelminthes.

Setae are the locomotory organs present in the lower part of annelids.

Arthropods possess jointed appendages that can be used in locomotion, feeding, sensing the environment, self-defense, and catching prey.
