The right answer is roundworms

In the scientific sense, worm refers to the primitive form of organization of the Bilaterians. The three groups of animals (roundworms, flatworms and ringed worms) have a fundamental bilateral symmetry. Their appearance, probably at the very beginning of the Cambrian (primary era), marks an important stage in the evolution of living beings. In spite of their apparent simplicity, they inaugurate a new type of anatomical organization which will then be taken over by all other animal species. The different tissues or specialized organs, come from one of the three embryonic leaves (endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm) inaugurated by these verses.

The group of organisms that has the derived characteristics of true tissues, bilateral symmetry, and a pseudocoelom is the Animalia kingdom. They present all of the mentioned characteristics.

An example of a pseudocoelom is the roundworm.
