Solution

The correct option is D Metridium
Of the given options, the Metridium is the only Anthozoan. The Anthozoa are the most primitive forms of the Cnidarians and completely lack a medusoid 'jellyfish' stage in the life cycle with a polyp stage persistent throughout.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
