Solution
The correct option is C Pleurobrachia
Comb jellies have eight rows of tiny comb-like plates which help in movement by incessant beating of the plates. Most comb jellies can detect chemical traces in the water that allow them to locate food and many are equipped with a gravity-sensitive structure, called as statocyst. It gives them a sense of up and down in the water. The image shown is that of Pleurobrachia which is a Ctenophora commonly known as comb jelly. So, the correct answer is option C.
