Solution
The correct option is D Mesohyl
Poriferans or sponges are diploblastic organisms, i.e., they develop only two germ layers during embryonic development - the ectoderm and the endoderm. A gelatinous substance called mesoglea or mesohyl is found in between these two layers. This fills up the space between the two germ layers, and is also involved in various functions of the sponge's body.
