Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct path of water flow in a sponge (specifically in a syconoid canal system) is as follows:$1$. Water enters from the outside through the dermal ostia (incurrent pores).$2$. It passes through the incurrent canals into the radial canals via prosopyles.$3$. From the radial canals,water moves into the central cavity known as the spongocoel through apopyles.$4$. Finally,water exits the body through the osculum.Therefore,the sequence is: Dermal ostia $	o$ Gastral ostia (or incurrent canals) $	o$ Spongocoel $	o$ Osculum.
