Solution

The correct option is D Euplectella
The Venus flower basket or Euplectella aspergillum is a sponge of the phylum Porifera. It has white, lattice-like skeletons made of silica. It is normally found in Philippine islands, Japan and in parts of western pacific and Indian ocean. In Japan, it is regarded as a symbol of eternal love because each basket commonly contains a mated pair of shrimp. Hence option B is correct.
