Q. Most appropriate term to designate the life-cycle of Obelia is

Animal Kingdom

Solution:

Most appropriate term to describe the life cycle of Obelia is metagenesis. It is a life cycle alternating between a generation reproducing sexually and another reproducing asexually, the two often differing morphologically. Metagenesis is a special type of polymorphism in which the sexual zooids become separated from the parental colony. Metagenesis is evident in the life cycle of Obelia.
