AIIMS 2019 Zoology Echinodermata MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following options have features corresponding to the given animals

A

Water vascular system, Calcareous shell

B

Water Canal system, Calcareous shell

C

Calcareous shell, acoelomate

D

Pseudocoelomate, Water vascular system

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A is correct because it includes a water vascular system, which is a characteristic feature of echinoderms (e.g., starfish), and a calcareous shell, which is found in mollusks (e.g., snails). Option B incorrectly pairs a water canal system, which is not a recognized term in this context, with a calcareous shell. Option C mentions acoelomate, which refers to organisms without a body cavity, but both echinoderms and mollusks are coelomates. Option D incorrectly associates pseudocoelomate organisms, which have a body cavity derived from the blastocoel, with a water vascular system, which is specific to echinoderms.
