Answer:

B. Smooth Muscle

Step-by-step explanation:

Medusae are among the simplest animals that use muscles to make rhythmic movements. In at least some medusae, the circular muscles, which do most of the work of swimming, are striated. In contrast, most of the other muscles of cnidarians are smooth.
