Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the Semester Test and can confirm that its correct

Answer 2

The correct answer is B, cnidarians and animals with bilateral symmetry.

When scientist are constructing phylogenetic trees they are grouping similar organisms based on common traits ( anatomical structure, physiology, genetic resemblance etc.)
Since the cnidarians are positioned very closely to the bilateral animals on this phylogenetic tree we should expect to find many common traits between them.
