The portugese man o' war is actually a colony of Siphonophora which is in the Class of Hydrozoa. THESE ARE NOT SEA ANEMONE. Anemone belong to the the Class Anthizoa which are related to jellyfish, but are NOT man o' wars.

The man-of-war's body consists of a gas-filled (mostly nitrogen), bladder-like float (a polyp, the pneumatophore) - a translucent structure tinted pink, blue, or violet - which may be 3 to 12 inches (9 to 30 centimeters) long and may extend as much as 6 inches (15 centimeters) above the water. Beneath the float are clusters of polyps, from which hang tentacles of up to 165 feet (about 50 meters) in length. The polyps are of three types: dactylozooid, gonozooid, and gastrozooid, concerned, respectively, with detecting and capturing prey, with reproducing, and with feeding. The "animal" moves by means of its crest, which functions as a sail.
The answer is C. A hydrozoan

C) a hydrozoan
A Portuguese man-of-war is a jelly fish, which is a hydrozoan. A jelly fish is a different animal from sea anemone.
