Solution

The correct option is B Waldheimia
The lophophore is a characteristic feeding organ possessed by four major groups of animals: The Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Entoprocta, and Phoronida, which collectively constituted the Lophophorata. All lophophores are aquatic organisms.
Of the given options, Waldheimia is a Brachiopod and hence possesses a lophophore.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Waldheimia'.
