Solution

The correct option is B Euplectella
Euplectella is commonly called as venus flower basket. It is given as marriage gift in Japan because this sponge usually includes shrimp pair which lives in this sponge till death. They breed and their offspring find venus flower basket of their own and look like flower bouquet and look similar for long time.
Hence the correct option is B.
