The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the occurrence of "comb plates" in specific organisms. We need to identify which of the given options has comb plates. 2. **Definition of Comb Plates**: Comb plates are specialized structures that are used for locomotion. They are typically found in certain aquatic organisms and are arranged in a way that resembles cilia. 3. **Identifying the Phylum**: Comb plates are characteristic of the phylum **Ctenophora** (also known as comb jellies). This is crucial because it helps narrow down the options. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Adamsia**: This organism belongs to the phylum **Cnidaria** (jellyfish, corals, etc.), which does not have comb plates. - **Nereus**: This organism is part of the phylum **Annelida** (segmented worms), which also does not have comb plates. - **Plurobrachia**: This organism belongs to the phylum **Ctenophora**, which is known for having comb plates. This is a strong candidate. - **Aurelia**: This organism is another member of the phylum **Cnidaria** and does not possess comb plates. 5. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the organism that has comb plates is **Plurobrachia**, which belongs to the phylum **Ctenophora**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Plurobrachia** (option number three). ---
