Solution

The dispersal in cnidarians is achieved during the "Polyp and medusa" phases of the life cycle.

Cnidarians, such as jellyfish, have a complex life cycle that includes both a polyp stage and a medusa stage. The polyp is the asexual, sessile stage, while the medusa is the sexual, mobile stage.

During the polyp stage, cnidarians can reproduce asexually and create new colonies, which can disperse to new locations. During the medusa stage, cnidarians can reproduce sexually, and the resulting larvae can disperse to new locations. Therefore, dispersal in cnidarians is achieved during both the polyp and medusa stages of the life cycle.
