The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Despite lacking a brain, hydra possesses nerve cells. It is a member of the Coelenterata phylum. Nerve cells and associated activities make up its nervous system. The brain is missing, yet sensory cells are still intact. Sponge's nervous system is absent. There are no nerve cells in them. The neurological system of an earthworm and cockroach is made up of a circumcenter nerve ring and a solid, double, midventral nerve cord containing ganglia.

Functions of Nervous System:

The nervous system's most basic job is to govern the organism's movement and to influence the environment (e.g., through pheromones). This is accomplished by transmitting signals from one cell to another, or from one body component to another. Signals that travel to muscle cells cause muscles to contract, and signals that travel to endocrine cells cause hormones to be released into the circulation or other internal fluids to cause the nervous system's output.
