Solution

To answer the question, we need to understand the terms provided in the options:

a. Endoderm: This is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo. It forms the interior linings of the digestive and respiratory systems, but it is not related to maintaining body temperature.

b. Ectoderm: This is another primary germ layer that forms the outer layer of the embryo, giving rise to the skin and nervous system. It also does not relate to body temperature regulation.

c. Coelomate: This term refers to animals that have a true coelom, a body cavity lined by an epithelium derived from mesoderm. This characteristic is about body structure, not temperature regulation.

d. Mesoderm: This is the middle germ layer that forms muscles, bones, and the circulatory system. It is not related to maintaining a constant body temperature.

e. All of the above: This option suggests that all the previous options are correct, which is not the case here.

The correct term for animals that maintain a constant internal body temperature is endothermic. However, since this term is not listed among the options, the closest correct answer is:

a. endoderm

But note that this is not entirely accurate in the context of the question. The term "endotherm" would be the precise answer if it were an option.
