    Question

    The table below lists the name of organisms and different aspects of the nervous system.

    Which one of the following options represents a correct match between the two columns?

    A.

    A- (ii); B- (iv); C- (i); D- (iii)

    B.

    A- (iv); B- (iii); C- (ii); D- (i)

    C.

    A- (iii); B- (i); C- (iv); D- (ii)

    D.

    A- (iv); B- (ii); C- (iii); D- (i)

    Correct option is B

    Explanation-

    A. Protozoan → (iv) Stimulus–response coordination
     Protozoans are unicellular organisms. They lack a nervous system but can still respond to stimuli through basic stimulus–response mechanisms (e.g., movement toward light or chemicals).
    B. Jellyfish → (iii) Diffuse nervous system with small ganglial centres
    Jellyfish (Phylum Cnidaria) have a nerve net — a diffuse network of neurons with no centralized brain. This is the simplest form of a nervous system.
    C. Flatworms → (ii) Two cephalic ganglia joined by a commissure
    Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes) have a more developed nervous system than cnidarians. They show cephalization (concentration of nerve tissue in the head). Typically have two ganglia in the head region connected by a commissure (nerve bridge).
    D. Bony fish → (i) Central and peripheral nervous system
    Bony fish (Phylum Chordata) are vertebrates. They have a well-developed central nervous system (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).

    So, the correct sequence is:
    A–iv, B–iii, C–ii, D–i (Option b)
