Solution

The correct option is C Ctenophora
Ctenophores are commonly known as sea whales or comb jellies, radially symmetry, diploblastic organisms with tissue level of organization. The body bears eight external rows of ciliated comb plates which help in locomotion, hence the name Ctenophora. Cnidocytes are absent.
So the correct answer is 'Ctenophora'.
