    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Volvent or desmoneme is a small and pear-shaped nematocyst, found in coelenterates. It contains a short, thick, spineless, smooth and elastic thread tube forming a single loop and closed at the far end. When discharged, it tightly coils around small projections such hairs or bristles of prey, thus impeding its movements. Volvents are also useful in capturing prey.
