Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Open circulatory systems have ____
A
vertebrates
B
invertebrates
C
both vertebrates and invertebrates
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Open circulatory system: It is primarily found in invertebrates. Here, the blood flows freely through cavities since there are no vessels to conduct the blood. Closed circulatory system: It is found in vertebrates and a few invertebrates, like earthworms. This system has vessels that conduct blood throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -This movement allows for gas and nutrient exchange. An open circulatory system does not use as much energy as a closed system to operate or to maintain; however, there is a trade-off with the amount of blood that can be moved to metabolically active organs and tissues that require high levels of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -As opposed to a closed system, arthropods– including insects, crustaceans, and most mollusks– have an ‘open’ circulatory system.
