Which of the following combinations is incorrect?

Correct answer: D. Calcarea-gastrovascular Cavity, coelom present

  • A. Nematoda-roundworms, pseudocoelomate
  • B. Arthropoda - coelom present, bilateral symmetry
  • C. Platyhelminthes - gastrovascular cavity, flatworms, acoelomate
  • D. Calcarea-gastrovascular Cavity, coelom present

Explanation

This combination is incorrect. Calcarea is a class of sponges (phylum Porifera), not a phylum on its own. Sponges do not have a gastrovascular cavity; instead, they have a simple body plan with specialized cells for feeding and water flow. Additionally, sponges lack a true coelom; instead, their body organization is based on a cellular level with no true tissues or organs. Therefore, the combination of "gastrovascular cavity" and "coelom present" is incorrect for Calcarea.
