Correct answer: C
Ctenophora is a small phylum of exclusively
marine, invertebrate animals. Ctenoplana and Beroe
are examples of ctenophora. They have biradial
symmetry (a combination of radial and bilateral
symmetries).
They lack the specialized stinging cells (nematocysts)
found in coelenterates, but one species (Haeckelia
rubra) incorporates those of its jellyfish prey for its
own defense.
