Solution

The correct option is A Molluscs
Molluscs are mostly aquatic and their soft bodies are enclosed in a hard shell, which functions as an exoskeleton. This shell is secreted by a thin sheet of tissue, called as the mantle. The mantle is loose and encloses the internal organs. So, the correct answer is option A.
