Answer:

The water vascular system of echinoderms (B) functions in locomotion and feeding.

Which of the following combinations of phylum and description is correct? (C) Platyhelminthes—flatworms, gastrovascular cavity, no body cavity

Step-by-step explanation:

Echinoderms are marine animals. They have a water vascular system that make them able to move (locomation), respiration and food and waste transportation. This system is full of different canal along the body.

Echinodermata has not a radial symmetry as a larva, in fact it has a bilateral symmetry and coelom present. When it comes to Nematoda, they are roundworms and have a pseudocoelomate. Finally, porifera has a gastrovascular cavity and no coelom.
