Solution
The correct option is A Cydippid Most ctenophores have a cydippid larva. This form of larvae is ovoid or spherical with two retractable tentacles. They are free swimming larvae.
Veliger is a planktonic larva of many sea snails and freshwater snails, marine and freshwater gastropod molluscs. Nauplius is the crustacean larva. Trochophore is the free-swimming larvae of marine annelids and most groups of molluscs. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
