The correct answer is: Hydra
The neural organisation is very simple in lower invertebrates. For example, in Hydra, it is composed of a network of neurons. The neural system is better organised in insects, where a brain is present along with a number of ganglia and neural tissues. The vertebrates have a more developed neural system.
