Solution

The correct option is D Sea fan
Sea lilies are crinoids from phylum Echinodermata with a calyx and five pairs of feather-like arms standing on a long stalk which is retained throughout the animal's life. Ascidiacea commonly known as the sea squirts is a class in the subphylum Tunicata of sac-like marine invertebrate filter feeders. Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. Gorgonians are also known as sea whips or sea fans are coelenterate. Sea fans are similar to soft corals, however, they anchor themselves in mud or sand instead of attaching themselves to hard substrates.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
