Answer 1

The correct answer is B. All animals sense and respond to the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neurons are the basic unit a nervous system is made up of. It is a complex system which help animals to sense and respond to the change in the internal and external environment.

Most of the multicellular organism have nervous system or nerve cell and sensory cells to sense their environmental change but some animals having very simpler body organization lacks there sensory structures.

Sponges are the multicellular animals that do not have nerve cells but they also respond to the environmental by infiltration-contraction response which is generated by doing significant change in their canal size.
