B Correct answer
Explanation

Coelom is an internal body cavity between body wall and digestive tract of many animals in which well-developed organs are present. Platyhelminthes do not have coelom in which well-developed organs can be accommodated. Therefore, they are categorised as acoelomate (an organism with no cavity or coelom between its digestive tract and outer body wall).
