Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The cell aggregate plan refers to a body plan wherein the body contains a cluster or aggregation of cells that are not organized into cells or organs.

The phylum porifera’s members have a cell aggregate body plan.

Sponges are the generic term for these.

They are also renowned as ‘pore-bearers,’ because of the many tiny pores on their body wall.

All sponges are planktonic; the majority are marine, but just a few species, such as spongilla, are freshwater.
