The life cycle of Aurelia begins with a planula larva which settles and grows into a polyp form called scyphistoma. The scyphistoma undergoes asexual reproduction and forms ephyrae which are released and grow into adult medusae. Therefore, the correct sequence is planula, scyphistoma, and ephyra. Option C has the three stages in the correct sequence.
