All of A, B, C, and D are animals, I'm pretty sure.  \n\nYou seem to be missing E though...

courtesy of Encarta Encyclopedia Online!\nThe phylum of Cnidarians, or Coelenterates, is a phylum within Kingdom Animalia and consists of hydras, jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals. This phylum consists of over 9000 species. All cnidarians are radially symmetrical, meaning that they have a central axis and are symmetrical all around it. Their level of complexity is right above that of sponges, among the Metazoa, or many cells animals. In all cnidarians, the mouth leads directly into the gastrovascular cavity, a digestive cavity. This cavity is filled with fluid, which services internal cells, provides body support, and helps maintain structure. There is no anus, and so excess food and waste products must exit through the mouth. As a result, the digestive system of cnidarians is considered incomplete. Another characteristic of cnidarians is that they all have two layers of living tissue. The first layer of living tissue is known as the dermis, and the second layer is know as the gastordermis. The dermis is the outer layer, and the gastordermis is the inner layer which forms the body cavity. A gelatinous layer called mesoglea separates these two layers. Also, in all cnidarians, nearly all functions are performed by individual tissues, not organs, despite the fact that a very small number of them do contain organs.

Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) and roundworms (Nematodes) are soft-bodied animals, and therefore they're practically absent from the fossil record, because it takes extraordinary circumstances to produce fossils of these type of organisms. \nA fossilized turbellarian found included in Baltic amber, is 40 million years old (see first reference). \nFossil nematodes are also occasionally found in amber from the Cenozoic, but there are possible possible fossils from the Middle Paleozoic (see second link).\nBut anyway, all the major animal phyla are estimated to have been present after the Cambrian explosion (570 million to 495 million years ago) (see third link).

Richard Dawkins has two wonderful chapters on cnidarians (jellyfish) and poriferans (sponges) in 'The Ancestor's Tale.'\n\nCnidarians have two body plans, the medusa (jellyfish) and the polyp (sea anemones and hydras).  Polyps often reproduce by budding and can make huge colonies of organisms.  The portuguese-man-of-war is actually a complex colony of medusa and polyp forms.  (BTW, he has a great discussion about how the stinger cell in jellyfish may be the most complex structure in any cell anywhere in the animal and plant kingdoms. Way cool!)\n\nPoriferans (sponges) are even simpler organisms.  Although they are ostensibly multicellular organisms, with several types of cells, these cells don't organize themselves into specialized tissues and organs. Sponges are able to reproduce both asexually and sexually.\n\nSo the evolutionary significance is that an individual is basically a colony.  As such they are right at the boundary between single-celled and multi-celled creatures.  They demonstrate how multi-celled organisms could arise as a colony of cooperating single-cells.

A mammal? Nah. An organism? Yep. All living things are organisms, it's just some are a tad more complex than others. If a shark was a mammal, then it would have to have shark boobies, right? Whoa - there's a scary picture... a shark with boobies. Kinda reminds me of my ex-wife....

I would like to correct the other answer. MAMMALIA is the class of Marsupial Mammals. The Order of such mammals is MARSUPIALA. And I'm sure the phylum is CHORDATA.

animals with no backbone are known collectively as invertebrates.\nhope this is some help as your question was vague.

Use the Linnaeus System:\n\nKingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species\n\nA way to remember it: Katie Put Clams On Fred's Giant Stomach. I learned it in HS Biology 30+ years ago and never have forgotten it.

What a cool project!  So to answer one of your questions, the crucial distinction among your phyla will be whether or not they're chordates -- which of course includes the vertebrates (but also some invertebrates such as sea squirts and certain worms).  \n\nSo your bipedal wolf (I'm assuming the missing d was a typo, but if "bipeal" is a word from your universe, please let me know) would be phylum chordata, class vertebrata, order mammalia, family canidae, genus canus, species lupus bipedalis (and I'm envisioning something like a cross between Lawrence Talbot and Speaker-to-Animals, without retractible claws).  But that's just off the top of my head.\n\nOne thing I've discussed with my ten-year-old son is the absence of hexapod vertebrates -- e.g. flying horses, winged dragons, etc.  If you were closer, I'd invite you over for coffee and an all-day discussion of where to classify them, and how they evolved.  Since all terrestrial vertebrates have essentially the same structure, it's clear they all shared a common ancestor which makes hexapodal vertebrates, sadly, impossible in our known universe -- so was there a hexapodal (imaginary) marine vertebrate who also scuttled across the floors of silent seas before crawling out of the surf and saying "Hey, the carcharodons can't get me here!  Kewl!"?  ...Which of course suggests all sorts of hexapodal marine vertebrates that shared the same skeletal architecture.  Ooooh, fun.\n\nAnd the final question... so zoology is the study of animals.  There's also cryptozoology, which I've described flippantly as "the study of imaginary animals."  But of course, it's more technically the study of animals that may or may not exist.  So what would we call your zoology, which is the study of animals you've intentionally invented?  Oh, of course, poeiazoology (-poeia, meaing to construct -- as in mythopoeia, the term Tolkien invented to describe the invention of mythologies.)\n\nAnd on that note, elen sila lumen omentielvo!

They are all invertebrates, ie they don't have backbones

Sponges (from Latin porus "pore" and ferre "to bear") are animals of the phylum Porifera. They are primitive, sessile, mostly marine, waterdwelling filter feeders that pump water through their matrix to filter out particulates of food matter. Sponges are among the simplest of animals. With no true tissues (parazoa), they lack muscles, nerves, and internal organs. Their similarity to colonial choanoflagellates shows the probable evolutionary jump from unicellular to multicellular organisms. There are over 5,000 modern species of sponges known, and they can be found attached to surfaces anywhere from the intertidal zone to as deep as 8,500 m (29,000 feet) or further. Though the fossil record of sponges dates back to the Precambrian era, new species are still commonly discovered.\n\nThe structure of a sponge is simple: it is shaped like a tube, with one end stuck to a rock or other object and an open end, the osculum, open to the environment. The spongocoel, or interior of the sponge, is composed of walls perforated with microscopic pores that allow water to flow through the spongocoel.
