The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organism**: The question asks about sponges, which belong to the phylum Porifera. 2. **Understand the Characteristics of Sponges**: Sponges are simple organisms characterized by having pores all over their body. They have a cellular level of organization and a unique water canal system. 3. **Examine the Types of Symmetry**: The options provided are: - A. Symmetrical - B. Bilateral Symmetrical - C. Radial Symmetry - D. Universal Symmetry 4. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Symmetrical**: This implies that the organism has some form of symmetry, which is not true for sponges. - **Bilateral Symmetrical**: This means the organism can be divided into two equal halves. Sponges do not exhibit this type of symmetry. - **Radial Symmetry**: This means the organism can be divided into similar halves around a central axis. Sponges do not have radial symmetry either. - **Universal Symmetry**: This term is not commonly used in biological classification. 5. **Determine the Correct Symmetry Type for Sponges**: Sponges do not have any fixed shape and are considered asymmetrical. This means that if you cut a sponge from any point, you will not get two equal halves. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that sponges are mostly asymmetrical. **Final Answer**: A - Symmetrical (Asymmetrical) ---
