The best function of coelom is described as _.

Correct answer: C. To provide space for the development of organs and systems

  • A. To increase the size of the animals
  • B. To help in the functioning of reproductive system
  • C. To provide space for the development of organs and systems
  • D. All of these options are correct

Explanation

Coelom is the fluid-filled body cavity of an animal that contains all the organs. It is more evidently recognized in the beginning stages of development. As we have read on the basis of coelom, animals are divided into three categories, acoelomate(no coelom), pseudocoelomate(false coelom), and coelomate(true coelomate). This is a cavity found in the walls of the mesoderm. It provides space for organs and body parts to grow in. In most animals, it is located between the intestinal canal and the body cavity. Ceolom is the space surrounded by mesoderm. It is used as a sort of cushion for the inner organs. It also allows the body to bend and move around without possibly harming your inner organs and allows your organs to expand. So, option C is correct.
