    Platyhelminthes has the greatest complexity, and it is more closely related to Nematoda than to Cnidaria.

  •  
    B.

    Nematoda has the greatest complexity, and it is more closely related to Platyhelminthes than to Cnidaria.

  •  
    C.

    Cnidaria has the greatest complexity, and it is more closely related to Platyhelminthes than to Nematoda.

  •  
    D.

    The complexity is equal among all three groups, but Platyhelminthes is more closely related to Cnidaria than to Nematoda.
