Solution

The correct option is C polyp and medusa
Cnidarians generally exhibit polymorphism and have thus, two distinct life stages called polyp and medusa. Some of them exist either as a polyp or medusa all throughout their life, while some exhibit alternation of generation between the two forms. Polyp is sessile or non-motile form while medusa is the free floating form.
