Solution

The correct option is B Lasso
The main function of nematoblast is offense and defense but are helpful in locomotion and food capturing. The cell is cup-shaped and contains the nucleus, cytoplasm and contractile fibers. Cnidocil (9+2) is present to receive stimulus. The cell is attached to the epidermis by lasso, which prevents the capsule of nematocyst from coming out.
