Solution

The correct option is B Planula
  • A planula is the free-swimming, flattened, ciliated, bilaterally symmetric larval form of various cnidarian species. It is an egg-shaped ciliated body. Planula attaches itself to the hard substrata and transforms into adult Cnidaria by metamorphosis.
  • Parenchymula and Amphiblastula are the larvae of certain sponges.
  • Stomoblastula is the larva of Sycons.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
