Hint:This belongs to the kingdom of animalia and found mostly in the wet environment. They are the bilaterally symmetric animals.

Complete answer:
 Aphrodite are also known as the sea mouse because they are the marine animals and mostly found in the muddy region or at the bottom of the sea. As they are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, these are Annelids. Sea mouse belongs to the phylum called annelida. Sea mice generally are scavengers and they are hairy like structures. They are short and broad. They have dorsal flattened structures. They contain soft long setae and form the creeping sole of the body. They belong to annelids because annelids are mostly found in the wet environment which is similar to the sea mouse and also the annelids have bilateral symmetric animals like sea mice.

Additional information: molluscs are the second largest phylum of the invertebrate animals. Molluscs are the animals with soft bodies and have no spine on their body. They are covered with a shell.example: cuttlefish. Insects come within the phylum called arthropoda. They have a three parts body and hexapod invertebrates. Example: mosquito.
Mammal belongs to the family of chordata. They are a group of animals in which young ones are nourished with milk from the mammary glands of nother.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. i.e., Annelid.

Note: The name Aphrodite comes from the Greek the word the Ancient Greek goddess of love. These Aphrodites are generally found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean.
