The correct option is C Acoelomate
Liver fluke belongs to group of Platyhelminthes. These are commonly called as flat worms. They do not possess internal cavity in the body i.e., coelom is absent in these organisms. These are acoelomate. They have no body cavity between the gut and the epidermis. The adult form of these flukes cause parasitic infections in humans an other mammals.
So, the correct answer is option C.
