Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Osmoconformers are the organisms that change the osmotic concentration of their body with the change in ambient conditions. Their body fluids are in osmotic balance with the environment. For many marine invertebrates the osmolarity and ionic concentrations of their body fluids are similar to those of the sea water in which they live.
