Solution

The correct option is A Planula
  • Jellyfish is a transparent, soft-bodied marine animal, umbrella-shaped, and of gelatinous appearance.
  • Larva of jellyfish (Aurelia) is known as Planula. It is the free-swimming, flattened, ciliated, bilaterally symmetric larval form.
  • It is cylindrical or egg-shaped, and cilia present on its body helps in locomotion.
  • However, planula is the least developed stage in the jellyfish life-cycle.

Hence, the option A is correct.
