Answer:
C. asexual reproduction
Read Explanation:
- Cnidarians exhibit two basic body forms called polyp and medusa.
- The Polyp is a sessile and cylindrical form like Hydra, Adamsia, etc. whereas, the Medusa is umbrella-shaped and free-swimming like Aurelia or jelly fish.
- Those cnidarians which exist in both forms exhibit alternation of generation (Metagenesis), i.e., polyps produce medusae asexually and medusae form the polyps sexually (e.g., Obelia).
Examples:
- Physalia (Portuguese man-of-war)
- Adamsia (Sea anemone)
- Pennatula (Sea-pen)
- Gorgonia (Sea-fan)
- Meandrina (Brain coral)
