Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Ctenophora is considered as a small phylum. The phylum contains very few genera and only about 80 species.
This group includes a set of marine animals.
These organisms are commonly called as comb jellies.
Earlier, this phylum was placed under Coelenterata. Hatschek placed it under a separate phylum.
