Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Myonemes present in Euglena helps it to change its direction.

Myonemes are the active contractile proteins that run throughout the length of the body.

The scientific name of ciliates is Ciliophora and axonemes present in their body are helpful in locomotion.

Notopodia are the appendages present in annelids which are helpful in locomotion. Parapodia is an appendage present in annelids and is helpful in locomotion.

Thus, parapodia is a mismatch with Cnidaria.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
