Solution

The correct option is B Schistosoma
The platyhelminths are parasitic and non-parasitic flatworms. Cestoda, Trematoda are parasitic while Turbellaria contains free-living worms. Schistosoma which are commonly known as blood-flukes, are parasitic flatworms responsible for a number of infections in humans termed schistosomiasis. Adult flatworms parasitize blood capillaries of either the mesenteries or plexus of the bladder.
