Which of the following is an example of acoelomate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Platyhelminthes.
Platyhelminthes, commonly known as flatworms, are an example of acoelomates. Acoelomates are animals that lack a body cavity (coelom) between their digestive tract and outer body wall. Their internal organs are instead embedded in a solid mass of tissue called parenchyma. This distinguishes them from coelomates (like molluscs and arthropods) and pseudocoelomates. Echinoderms, molluscs, and arthropods all possess a true coelom.
