Solution
The correct option is A Plasma Blood glands are present on the 4th, 5th and 6th segments. They produce blood and haemoglobin which is dissolved in blood plasma. Blood cells are phagocytic in nature. Pheretima exhibits a closed type of blood vascular system, consisting of blood vessels, capillaries, and heart. Hence oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin occurs in plasma.
