Question

Which of the following is an example of a diploblastic animal?
Options
A Shark
B Whale
C Porifera
Correct Answer
D Dolphin
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Diploblastic animals are those with two primary germ layers: ectoderm and endoderm. Porifera (sponges) are considered diploblastic or sometimes even parazoan (lacking true tissues). Sharks, whales, and dolphins are all triploblastic (three germ layers).

Hint

Think about animals with a simpler body plan, typically lacking a mesoderm.
