Detailed explanation-1: -A coelom is a cavity that separates the gut from the body wall. A coelom is defined as a cavity that separates the gut from the body wall. It allows the internal organs to shift around and develop independently of the body wall, creating more physiological and evolutionary flexibility.

Detailed explanation-2: -The animals which have true coelom are called eucoelomates or coelomates, eg, annelids, echinoderms and chordates. Among given option Pheretima (annelid) has tme coelom (shizocoel).

Detailed explanation-3: -Functions. A coelom can absorb shock or provide a hydrostatic skeleton. It can also support an immune system in the form of coelomocytes that may either be attached to the wall of the coelom or may float about in it freely.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acoelomate: Coelom is absent. The blastocoel is completely occupied by mesoderm. Pseudocoelomate: True coelom is not present. The blastocoel is partly filled by mesodermal cells. Eucoelomate: Animals that have a true coelom.
