Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a true coelom and a complete digestive tract indicate that this animal belongs to either the Annelida or the Arthropoda. However, since the animal is soft-bodied and wormlike, it is most likely an annelid. Annelids are bilaterally symmetrical, segmented, and have a true coelom and a complete digestive tract.
