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.
