Correct answer: A. Are attached to the substratum

  • A. Are attached to the substratum
  • B. Have one opening of alimentary canal
  • C. Live in water
  • D. Have ciliary mode of feeding

Explanation

The organisms attached to the substratum possess radial symmetry in all vertical planes. All the animals belonging to cnidaria (e.g. jellyfish) and echinodermata (e.g. starfish) are radially symmetrical and typically sessile in their adult form. In radial symmetry, the parts in an organ or organism, when cut through the centre in any direction, produce two halves that are mirror images of each other.
