Coelomates show the development of a circulatory system for the purpose of absorption of nutrients and its circulation throughout the body.
An important component of the circulatory system is a pigment containing fluid component called blood.
Blood is the liquid connective tissue that circulates in the entire body and serves various functions like carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide, hormones, nutrients, excretory substances etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
