A unique feature of adult echinoderms compared to their larval stage is their body symmetry. Which statement correctly describes this symmetry shift along with their circulatory/excretory system features?

1. A
   Adults are radially symmetrical, larvae are bilaterally symmetrical; Specialized excretory system is absent
2. B
   Adults are bilaterally symmetrical, larvae are radially symmetrical; Excretory system is well developed
3. C
   Both adults and larvae are radially symmetrical; Excretion occurs via Malpighian tubules
4. D
   Adults are asymmetrical, larvae are radially symmetrical; Water vascular system functions exclusively for excretion
