Elimination Tool:
The circulatory systems of the species in the phylum Arthropoda are open. Pumping blood into a hemocoel is how open circulatory systems function. Except for cephalopods, which have closed circulatory systems, mollusks, such as snails, chitons, slugs, etc., have open circulatory systems. The circulatory system of annelids is typically closed, meaning that it is contained within fully formed blood vessels. However, the circulatory system of certain leeches and polychaetes is partially open, allowing blood and coelomic fluid to mix directly in the body cavity’s sinuses. Additionally, chordates have a closed circulatory system that can have one or two loops. and chordates have hearts, though not all of them do. Option C is therefore the right response.
