Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Platyhelminthes, or flatworms, lack a true body cavity, making them aceolomates. Their bodies are filled with mesodermal cells, leaving no space for organs to be suspended in a coelom. This characteristic is a key feature distinguishing them from coelomates and pseudocoelomates.
