Solution
The correct option is
B
Choanocytes
Sponges are primitive multicellular animals and have a cellular level of organization.
Sponges have different types of cells in their body.
Thesocytes store food and are also a type of amoebocytes.
Pinacocytes and Porocytes are two types of cells in the outer dermal layer or pinacoderm.
Choanocyte cells
line the spongocoel and the canals of the water canal system.
Digestion in sponges is intracellular and occurs first within the choanocytes and then within the feeding cells trophocytes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
