Question

Consider the following statements. Statement I: Radially symmetrical animals are generally sluggish. Statement II: In human body, kidneys are retroperitoneal organs.

• A. Both statement I and statement II are true
• B. Both statement I and statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true, but statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false, but statement II is true

Hint:

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Radial symmetry} &&\rightarrow \text{Usually sessile or sluggish} &\text{Kidneys} &&\rightarrow \text{Retroperitoneal organs} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Evaluate Statement I. Radially symmetrical animals such as cnidarians and adult echinoderms are generally sessile or slow-moving. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement I is true}.} \]

Step 2: Evaluate Statement II. Human kidneys lie behind the peritoneum and are therefore classified as \[ \boxed{\text{retroperitoneal organs}.} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Statement II is true}.} \]

Step 3: Choose the correct option. Since both statements are true, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
