Answer:

The correct answer would be B. acoelomic

Acoelomate refers to the animal which lacks true body cavity or coelom.

In addition, they also lack highly developed organ systems such as the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, et cetera.

They usually have flat and thin bodies which help in gas exchange.

Examples may include tapeworm, flukes, planarians et cetera.
