To solve the question "Box like calcareous test occurs in," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of the organisms mentioned. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Term "Calcareous Test":** - A calcareous test refers to a shell-like structure made of calcium carbonate. In echinoderms, this structure is often referred to as a test or skeleton that provides support and protection. 2. **Identifying Echinoderms:** - All the options provided (sea lily, sea star, sand dollar, and sea cucumber) belong to the phylum Echinodermata, which is known for having a calcareous endoskeleton. 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Sea Lily (Feather Star):** - Sea lilies have a star-shaped structure and do not possess a box-like test. Their structure is more branched and feather-like. - **Sea Star (Starfish):** - Sea stars have a radial symmetry and their structure is not box-like; they have arms extending from a central disc. - **Sand Dollar:** - Sand dollars are a type of flat sea urchin and when they die, they leave behind a flat, disc-shaped, box-like calcareous test. This matches the description given in the question. - **Sea Cucumber:** - Sea cucumbers have a cylindrical shape and when they die, they leave a cylindrical test, which does not fit the box-like description. 4. **Conclusion:** - After analyzing all the options, the organism that leaves a box-like calcareous test is the **Sand Dollar**. ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is **Sand Dollar**. ---
