    The document is about the canal system in an asconoid type of sponge. Water enters the spongocoel, or large central cavity, of an asconoid sponge through small pores called ostia. The water is then pulled through the ostia by flagella on choanocytes lining the spongocoel and expelled through a single large opening called an osculum. The correct answer for how water enters is option d, ostia.

    Answer: Asconoid sponges have the simplest organization and simplest canal system. They are small
    and tube shaped. Water enters through microscopic dermal pores (ostia) into a large cavity called a
    spongocoel, which is lined with choanocytes. Choanocyte flagella pull water through the pores and
    expel it through a single large osculum. Answer is d.
