Which one of the following is a matching set of a phylum and its three examples?

  1. Porifera - Spongilla, Euplectella, Pennatula
  2. Cnidaria - Bonellia, Physalia, Aurelia
  3. Platyhelminthes - Planaria, Schistosoma, Enterobius
  4. Mollusca - Loligo, Teredo, Octopus

Answer

(4) Mollusca - Loligo, Teredo, Octopus

Solution

∵ Pennatula (sea pen) is a cnidarian, not a sponge ⇒ (1) is wrong.

∵ Bonellia is an annelid-like (echiuran) worm, not a cnidarian ⇒ (2) is wrong.

∵ Enterobius (pinworm) is a roundworm (Aschelminthes), not a flatworm ⇒ (3) is wrong.

As per NCERT, molluscs include Loligo (squid) and Octopus (devil fish); Teredo (shipworm) is a bivalve mollusc ⇒ all three are molluscs.

Answer: (4)
