Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A

Explanation
The correct order is polyp, medusa, egg, planula larva, polyp because the polyp produces medusae, the medusa releases eggs, the eggs develop into planula larvae, and the planula settles to form a new polyp.So option A is the correct option.The rest of the options are incorrect because they do not follow the proper sequence of the life cycle.
