Solution
The correct option is B Annelida
Phylum Annelida includes organisms that are bilaterally symmetrical and are triploblastic. They have metameric segmentation (true segmentation). Here the body is often divided both externally and internally into a number of segments. These organisms have a true coelom. The coelom is filled with coelomic fluid which contains cells. They occur in a variety of habitats (fresh water, marine water or moist soil). Some are free living, some are burrowing and a few are parasitic.
