Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

• Ascaris belongs to Phylum Aschelminthes (Roundworms). They do not have a true coelom, instead, they have a pseudocoelom (body cavity not lined by mesoderm instead, the mesoderm is present as scattered pouches in between the ectoderm and endoderm).

• Metamerism (segmentation) is absent in aschelminthes. Segmentation is seen in Annelids (e.g., earthworm).
