Solution

The correct option is B Typhlosole
In earthworm, the characteristic feature of the intestine after 26th segment except the last 23rd-25th segments is the presence of an internal median fold of dorsal wall called typhlosole. This increases the effective area of absorption in the intestine.
So, the correct answer is 'Typhlosole'.
