The correct option is C Straight posterior part

The tail (posterior end) is curved ventrally in the form of a hook, with a conical tip. Whereas the female worm is longer and stouter than males measuring 25-49cms in length and 5mm in diameter. The tail ( posterior end ) is straight and blunt. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
