Solution

The correct option is B (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
  • In the case of Hydra, tentacles coil around the prey and ingest it.
  • Digestive enzymes are secreted in the cavity and the prey is digested by the enzymes released in the cavity. Hydra has the capacity to ingest prey almost twice its size.

  • After 2- 3 days the indigestible remains are thrown out of the body. Thus, the process of digestion involves ingestion, digestion, and egestion.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
