  • A. Roundworms (Aschelminthes) are pseudocoelomates
  • B. Molluses are acoelomates
  • C. Insects are pseudocoelomates
  • D. Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) are coelomates

Explanation

Roundworms, or Aschelminthes, are indeed pseudocoelomates. They have a body cavity called a pseudocoelom that is partially lined with mesoderm, unlike true coelomates where the coelom is entirely surrounded by mesoderm. This pseudocoelom provides some space for organ development and circulation of fluids.
