Use the following information to answer the question.
The phylum Cycliophora was discovered in 1995. They are tiny organisms that live in large numbers on the outsides of the mouthparts and appendages of lobsters.

The body is saclike and has a U-shaped intestine that brings the anus close to the mouth. Cycliophorans are coelomates, do not molt (though their host does) , and their embryos undergo spiral cleavage.

• A) is autotrophic and captures food in a manner similar to gastropods
