The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the structure "lasso," we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding the term "lasso":** - The term "lasso" refers to a thread-like structure that is associated with certain cells in the coelenterates (Cnidaria). 2. **Analyzing the options:** - **(a) Nutritive muscular cell:** These cells are primarily involved in digestion and nutrient absorption. They do not typically have structures like lasso. - **(b) Epitheliomuscular cell:** These cells are involved in muscle contraction and forming the outer layer of the organism. They do not have lasso structures associated with them. - **(c) Sensory cells:** These cells are responsible for detecting stimuli in the environment. They do not contain lasso structures. - **(d) Nematoblasts:** These are specialized cells that contain nematocysts (stinging cells). The lasso is a structure that is attached to the base of the nematocyst and helps prevent it from bulging out until it is stimulated. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the lasso is specifically associated with nematoblasts, making option **(d) Nematoblasts** the correct answer. ### Final Answer: **(d) Nematoblasts**
