The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the capabilities of Planaria, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Planaria**: Begin by identifying what Planaria is. Planaria are flatworms belonging to the class Turbellaria, and they are known for their unique biological characteristics. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Metamorphosis**: This refers to the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages. Planaria do not exhibit a typical metamorphosis. - **(b) Regeneration**: Planaria are well-known for their remarkable ability to regenerate lost body parts. This process allows them to regrow entire sections of their body from fragments. - **(c) Alternation of Generation**: This is a reproductive cycle that involves alternating between sexual and asexual reproduction. Planaria do not primarily reproduce this way. - **(d) Bioluminescence**: This refers to the ability of organisms to produce light. Planaria do not possess this capability. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the most accurate option that describes the high capacity of Planaria is (b) regeneration. They can regenerate complete bodies from small pieces, demonstrating a high degree of regenerative ability. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is (b) regeneration. ### Final Answer: (b) regeneration
