The correct Answer is:
To determine where pseudocoelom occurs, we need to analyze the given options based on their classification in the animal kingdom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Body Cavities**: - **Coelomates**: Organisms that have a true coelom, which is a body cavity lined by mesoderm. - **Acoelomates**: Organisms that do not have a body cavity. - **Pseudocoelomates**: Organisms that have a pseudocoelom, which is a body cavity that is not completely lined by mesoderm; it has scattered pouches of ectoderm and endoderm. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **A. Ascaris**: This organism belongs to the phylum Nematoda, which is known for having a pseudocoelom. - **B. Taenia Solium**: This organism belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes, which are acoelomates (no body cavity). - **C. Fasciola Hepatica**: This organism also belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes and is an acoelomate. - **D. Planaria**: This organism belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes as well and is also an acoelomate. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Among the options, only **Ascaris** belongs to the pseudocoelomate category. The other options (Taenia Solium, Fasciola Hepatica, and Planaria) are all acoelomates. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **A. Ascaris**. ---
