Solution

The correct option is C Mollusca - Loligo, Teredo, Octopus

Loligo (squid), Teredo (shipworm) and Octopus are members of the phylum Mollusca. Physalia (portugese man of war) and Aurelia (jellyfish) are cnidarians, while Bonellia is a marine worm, considered to be a close relative of annelids. Planaria and Taenia are flatworms (platyhelminths), while Ascaris (roundworm) belongs to Phylum Aschelminthes (Nematoda). Spongilla and Euplectella are sponges (poriferans), and Pennatula (sea pen) is a cnidarian.
