In the leuconoid canal system, water enters through dermal pores, then flows through incurrent canals, prosopyles (openings leading to radial canals), radial canals, internal ostia (apopyles), spongocoel (central cavity), and finally exits through the osculum. This system facilitates water circulation and filtration within the sponge.

Dermal pores → Incurrent canals → Prosopyles → Radial canals → Internal ostia
(apopyles) → SpongocoeL → Osculum → Out

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
