Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coelom provided a hydrostatic skeleton, allowing for a greater range of motion and more efficient movement. This would have been advantageous for early animals as they developed and evolved. The other choices, while important and beneficial for animals, are not directly related to the early advantage of a coelom.
