The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bioluminescence**: Bioluminescence is the ability of living organisms to produce and emit light. This phenomenon is observed in various organisms across different taxa. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - A. Protozoa - B. Cnidarians - C. Tenophores - D. Sponges 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Protozoa**: Some protozoans exhibit bioluminescence, but it is not a well-marked characteristic across the group. - **Cnidarians**: While some cnidarians (like certain jellyfish) can exhibit bioluminescence, it is not as prominent as in other groups. - **Tenophores**: This group, also known as comb jellies, is well-known for its bioluminescent properties. They are marine organisms that exhibit this trait prominently. - **Sponges**: Sponges do not exhibit bioluminescence. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the group where bioluminescence is well marked is the Tenophores. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is C. Tenophores. ---
