Solution

The correct option is A Cnidaria
Cnidarians do not possess digestive cavity. Tentacles are used to gather food. The gastrovascular cavity functions in food distribution and digestion; gastrodermis lines the cavity and has glands that secrete proteases. Nutritive muscular cells form pseudopods that engulf partially digested food and transport them to vacuoles, where final digestion takes place.
