The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about "Sea Flowers". We need to identify which organism is commonly referred to by this name among the given options: corals, red corals, sea anemones, and jellyfishes. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Corals**: These are marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. They form coral reefs but are not typically called "sea flowers". - **Red Corals**: A specific type of coral known for its red color, but again, not commonly referred to as "sea flowers". - **Sea Anemones**: These are indeed part of the phylum Cnidaria and are often referred to as "sea flowers" due to their flower-like appearance. They are stinging polyps that can attach to rocks or coral reefs. - **Jellyfishes**: These are also part of the phylum Cnidaria but are not related to the term "sea flowers". 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, sea anemones are the organisms that are commonly referred to as "sea flowers". They have a cylindrical body and tentacles that capture prey. 4. **Justification**: Sea anemones have a unique structure that includes a pedal disc for attachment, a cylindrical body, and tentacles that can sting and paralyze their prey. This characteristic aligns with the description of "sea flowers". 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "Sea Flowers are" is **sea anemones**. ---
