Solution

The correct option is B Unio
Glochidium is a larval stage found in Unio. Unio is a genus of freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks. Glochidium has sharp spines that project inward from each valve. It attaches to the gills or fins of fish and becomes a temporary parasite. Later, it leaves the fish and metamorphoses into an adult.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
