C.B only
D.A only
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Coelom in animal groups]
Only A is correct: annelids have a true coelom. Aschelminthes are pseudocoelomates, and Platyhelminthes are acoelomates. Poriferans lack a true coelom; their spongocoel is a water conducting cavity, not a pseudocoelom. Hence, option (4).
