Answer:

C.Echinoderms have radial symmetry and worms have bilateral symmetry

Step-by-step explanation:

Echinoderms evolved from animals with bilateral symmetry. The larvae of all echinoderms are bilaterally symmetrical but lost during metamorphosis developing into radial symmetry adult. Examples of echinoderms are starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars.

Worms are invertebrate animals having bilateral symmetry. They have a definite anterior (head) end and a posterior (tail) end. Worms have brains that help them detect objects, food, mates, and predators quickly.
