The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of Echinoderms, we will analyze each option provided and determine if they are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Echinoderms**: - Echinoderms belong to the phylum Echinodermata. Common examples include starfish and sea cucumbers. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "Exclusively marine habitat and calcareous endoskeleton." - **Evaluation**: Echinoderms are indeed exclusively found in marine environments and possess a calcareous endoskeleton. This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Presence of water vascular system and tube feet for locomotion." - **Evaluation**: Echinoderms have a unique water vascular system that aids in locomotion and feeding, and they utilize tube feet for movement. This statement is also correct. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "Bilateral symmetry in larvae and radial symmetry in adults." - **Evaluation**: Echinoderm larvae exhibit bilateral symmetry, while adults display radial symmetry. This statement is correct as well. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "All of these." - **Evaluation**: Since options A, B, and C are all correct, option D, which states "All of these," is also correct. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **(d) All of these**, as all the statements about Echinoderms are accurate. ---
