The correct answer is

Echinodermata

Asterias (starfish), Echinus (sea urchin) and Antedon (sea lily) are exclusively marine animals with pentaradial symmetry, a calcareous endoskeleton and a water vascular system — the defining features of phylum Echinodermata ("spiny-skinned").

Annelida are segmented worms, Platyhelminthes are flatworms, and Arthropoda have jointed appendages and exoskeletons — none fit these examples.
