Solution

The correct option is A Dentalium
Dentalium is a genus of tooth shells or tusk shells, marine scaphopod molluscs belonging to the family Dentaliidae. In this, tentacles are replaced by captacula. Captacula is a number of minute tentacles present around the foot. They sift through the sediment and latch onto food. The captured food is then conveyed to the mouth.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
