Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsThe correct option is Platyhelminthes.
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.
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.
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.
