Solution

The correct option is B Miracidium
In Fasciola hepatica, eggs are passed out of the liver with bile and into the intestine to be expelled with feces. If they fall into the water, eggs will complete their development into the first larval stage, miracidia and hatch in 9-10 days during warm weather.
Thus, the correct answer is option C
