Solution

The correct option is D Coccon
Mature sperm and egg cells and nutritive fluid are deposited in cocoons produced by the gland cells of clitellum. Fertilization and development occur within the cocoon which is deposited in the soil. The ova are fertilized by the sperm cells within the cocoon. which then slips off the worm and is deposited in or on the soil.
So the correct answer is 'Coccon'.
