The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which phylum contains exclusively marine, radially symmetrical, diploblastic organisms with tissue-level organization. Let's break down the options provided: 1. **Platyhelminthes**: - These are flatworms. - They are triploblastic (not diploblastic) and bilaterally symmetrical. - They have organ-level organization. - **Conclusion**: Not the correct answer. 2. **Ctenophora** (also known as Comb Jellies or Sea Walnuts): - They are exclusively marine. - They exhibit radial symmetry. - They are diploblastic and have tissue-level organization. - They possess eight rows of ciliated comb plates for locomotion. - **Conclusion**: This is a strong candidate for the correct answer. 3. **Arthropoda**: - This phylum includes insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. - They have an exoskeleton and a segmented body. - They are triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical. - **Conclusion**: Not the correct answer. 4. **Annelida**: - Known as segmented worms (e.g., earthworms, leeches). - They are also triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical. - They have organ-level organization. - **Conclusion**: Not the correct answer. After analyzing all the options, we can conclude that the phylum that contains exclusively marine, radially symmetrical, diploblastic organisms with tissue-level organization is **Ctenophora**. ### Final Answer: **Ctenophora**
