Solution

The correct option is D I and III only
Flatworms are acoelomates animals that are characterized by having three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm). They do not have a true body cavity.
They are unsegmented worms with a tail and a head end. They are bilaterally symmetrical with a definite upper and lower surface.
Flatworms have a cephalized nervous system that consists of head ganglion, usually attached to longitudinal nerve cords that are interconnected across the body by transverse branches.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
