Which of the following characteristic belongs to acoelomates?

Correct answer: D. Solid body without a cavity surrounding internal organs

  • A. Absence of mesoderm
  • B. Absence of brain
  • C. Coelom that is incompletely lined with a mesoderm
  • D. Solid body without a cavity surrounding internal organs

Explanation

This is the correct characteristic of acoelomates. Acoelomates are organisms with a solid body plan, meaning they lack a fluid-filled body cavity like a coelom that surrounds their internal organs. Instead, the space between the outer body wall and the internal organs is filled with mesodermal tissue, which is often densely packed, giving them a solid appearance.
