The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Most sponges exhibit," we need to analyze the options provided: bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, asymmetry, and spherical symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Symmetry Types**: - **Bilateral Symmetry**: This type of symmetry means that the organism can be divided into two equal halves by a single plane. This is common in animals like humans and many other organisms. - **Radial Symmetry**: In this type, the organism can be divided into similar halves by multiple planes passing through the center. This is typical of organisms like jellyfish and starfish. - **Asymmetry**: This means that the organism does not exhibit any symmetry; it cannot be divided into equal halves. This is often seen in sponges. - **Spherical Symmetry**: This is when an organism can be divided into equal halves from any plane passing through its center, which is rare and mostly theoretical. 2. **Analyzing Sponges**: - Sponges are simple organisms that belong to the phylum Porifera. They do not have a defined shape and their body structure varies widely. - Due to their irregular shapes and lack of a definite symmetry, sponges are classified as asymmetrical. 3. **Conclusion**: - Given that sponges do not exhibit any form of symmetry and can vary greatly in shape, the correct answer to the question is **asymmetry**. ### Final Answer: Most sponges exhibit **asymmetry**. ---
