(N/A) Feather star $(Antedon)$ possesses a water vascular system (tube system) used for locomotion and food capture. $Euplectella$ (Venus flower basket) possesses a canal system (syconoid type) that facilitates water circulation for nutrition and respiration.
$(b)$ The skeleton of a shark is cartilaginous,meaning it is composed entirely of cartilage. The skeleton of a sea horse is bony,composed of calcified plates.
