The main function of nematocysts (nematoblasts) in coelenterates, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, is B. Offence and defence. Nematocysts are specialized organelles that contain venomous structures used for capturing prey or defending against predators. They are primarily used for offense and defense purposes, aiding in the survival and feeding of the organism.
