Which system is UNIQUE to Echinoderms?
A
Circulatory
B
Respiratory
C
Digestive
D
Water-Vascular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Echinoderms have a unique system for gas exchange, nutrient circulation, and locomotion called the water vascular system. The system consists of a central ring canal and radial canals extending along each arm. Water circulates through these structures allowing for gas, nutrient, and waste exchange.

Detailed explanation-2: -Echinoderms have a characteristic water vascular system that pushes water throughout their bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Echinoderms have a characteristic coelomic water vascular system. This system is controlled hydraulically. It comprises a circumoral ring covering the esophagus which connects radial canals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The water vascular system is a hydraulic system used by echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, for locomotion, food and waste transportation, and respiration. The system is composed of canals connecting numerous tube feet.
