The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Types of Locomotion**: - The question asks about "looping" and "somersaulting" types of locomotion. We need to identify which organism exhibits these types of movements. 2. **Identifying Organisms**: - The options provided are: - A) Snail - B) Hydra - C) Amoeba - D) Leech 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Snail**: Snails are known for their crawling movement using a muscular foot. They do not exhibit looping or somersaulting locomotion. - **Hydra**: Hydra is a cnidarian that exhibits both looping and somersaulting locomotion. - **Looping**: Involves standing erect, extending the body, and bending, creating a loop-like movement. - **Somersaulting**: Involves the attachment of tentacles to the substrate and the release of the basal disc, allowing it to move by alternating the points of attachment. - **Amoeba**: Amoebas move using pseudopodia, which is known as amoeboid movement. This is not looping or somersaulting. - **Leech**: Leeches move using suckers for attachment and movement, which does not involve looping or somersaulting. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only organism that exhibits looping and somersaulting locomotion is **Hydra**. Therefore, the correct answer is **B) Hydra**.
