Question:

Study the following and pick the correct combinations: 


 

Show Hint

- Polychaeta have parapodia (e.g., Nereis), but Pheretima is an oligochaete.
- Hirudinea have botryoidal tissue (e.g., Pontobdella).
- Anthozoa have polypoid forms (e.g., Adamsia).
- Ctenophora do not have cnidocytes but possess colloblasts for prey capture.

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

Step 1: Identifying Incorrect Combinations
Polychaeta (I) has parapodia, but the given example Pheretima is incorrect. Pheretima is an Oligochaeta (earthworm).
Hirudinea (II) is correctly associated with botryoidal tissue, and Pontobdella is a valid example.
Anthozoa (III) consists of polypoid forms, and Adamsia (a sea anemone) is a correct example.
Ctenophora (IV) does not possess cnidocytes; instead, they have colloblasts for prey capture, making this an incorrect match.
Step 2: Selecting the Correct Combination
Since Hirudinea (II) and Anthozoa (III) are correctly matched, the correct option is:

\[ \textbf{(4) II, III.} \]

Approach Solution -2

To solve the problem, we need to match the given classes of organisms with their corresponding features and examples.

1. Understanding the Combinations:
Let's analyze the provided combinations based on the table:

  • Class I - Polychaeta: Polychaetes have parapodia, which are paired appendages. The example given is Pheretima (earthworm), which fits this description.
  • Class II - Hirudinea: Hirudineans (leeches) have botryoidal tissue, and the example is Pontobdella.
  • Class III - Anthozoa: Anthozoans have polypoid forms, and the example provided is Adamsia (a type of sea anemone).
  • Class IV - Ctenophora: Ctenophores have ctenocytes (cells with cilia), and the example is Pleurobrachia.

2. Matching the Correct Combinations:
The correct matches are:

  • I - Polychaeta matches with Parapodia and the example Pheretima (earthworm).
  • II - Hirudinea matches with Botryoidal tissue and the example Pontobdella (leech).
  • III - Anthozoa matches with Polypoid forms and the example Adamsia.
  • IV - Ctenophora matches with Ctenocytes and the example Pleurobrachia.

3. Conclusion:
After matching, we can see that the correct option is:

Final Answer:
The correct answer is (D) II, III.
