    A)  schizocoelom    

    B)  pseudocoelom

    C)  true coelom     

    D)  haemocoelom

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Pseudocoelom Body cavity is false coelom derived from embryonic blastocoel.        e.g.,    Aschelminthes    (Ascaris). In   pseudocoelomates, there is a liquid filled space in which body organs float. Eucoelom or true coelom lines with two layers ofmesoderm, e.g., earthworms. It may be schizocoelom or enterocoelom. Schizocoelom is the true coelom, originated by  splitting  of  mesoderm   and  its enlargement to form the cavity. e.g., Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca. Haemocoelom is the true coelom, filled with blood. It is found in arthropods, some annelids and molluscs, where the circulatory system is open type (with blood sinuses and lacunae).
