The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Bioluminescence**: - Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon where living organisms produce light. The term "bio" means life, and "luminescence" refers to light emission. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question provides four options: flatworm, ctenophores, cnidarians, and aschelminthes. We need to determine which of these groups exhibits bioluminescence. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Flatworms**: Generally do not exhibit bioluminescence. - **Ctenophores**: Known for their ability to produce light. They are often referred to as comb jellies and are well known for their bioluminescent properties. - **Cnidarians**: Some species, like certain jellyfish, can exhibit bioluminescence, but it is not as widespread as in ctenophores. - **Aschelminthes**: This group does not typically show bioluminescence. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, ctenophores are the group that is well marked for bioluminescence. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **ctenophores**. ### Final Answer: Bioluminescence is well marked in **ctenophores**. ---
