Answer

Platyhelminthes\text{Platyhelminthes}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

The correct option is Platyhelminthes.

  1. Understand the term "Metazoan".

    • Metazoa is a biological kingdom that includes all multicellular animals. These organisms are typically heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms, and most are motile.
  2. Evaluate each option.

    • Echinodermata (e.g., starfish, sea urchins) are multicellular animals.
    • Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish, corals) are multicellular animals.
    • Rhizopoda is a group of unicellular protists (like amoebas), not multicellular animals. Therefore, they are not metazoans.
    • Platyhelminthes (e.g., flatworms) are multicellular animals.
  3. Identify the correct phylum.

    Both Echinodermata, Cnidaria, and Platyhelminthes are phyla that belong to the metazoan group of organisms. Given the options, and assuming a single best answer is expected, Platyhelminthes is a correct example of a metazoan phylum.

    The final answer is Platyhelminthes\text{Platyhelminthes}
