Solution

The correct option is D Earthworm and rabbit
Hemoglobin or haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red cells of the blood in mammals and almost all other vertebrates. Some invertebrates also employ hemoglobin in oxygen transport, such as annelid worms, which have the hemoglobin dissolved in the blood, and the larval aquatic stages of a few insects. Only a few vertebrates, such as eel larvae and some species of Antarctic "icefish," have been found to lack hemoglobin. Thus, option C is correct.
