The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sea Anemone**: - Sea anemones, scientifically known as Metridium, belong to the phylum Coelenterata (or Cnidaria). 2. **Identifying Symmetry Types**: - The question asks about the type of symmetry found in sea anemones. The options provided are: - A) Radial - B) Biradial - C) Bilateral - D) Spherical 3. **Analyzing Radial Symmetry**: - Radial symmetry means that the body parts are arranged around a central axis. An organism with radial symmetry can be divided into similar halves by multiple planes passing through the central axis. 4. **Comparing with Other Symmetries**: - **Biradial Symmetry**: This is a combination of bilateral and radial symmetry, typically seen in organisms of the phylum Ctenophora. - **Bilateral Symmetry**: This means that the organism can be divided into two identical halves along a single plane (anterior-posterior axis). This type of symmetry is common in most chordates. - **Spherical Symmetry**: This type of symmetry is not applicable to sea anemones and is generally found in some unicellular organisms. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since sea anemones exhibit radial symmetry, the correct answer to the question is **A) Radial**.
