The correct option is A Male for holding female
Adult males have deep grooves called gynecophoral canals in which adult females typically lie. Unlike other trematodes, the schistosomes are dioecious i.e, the sexes are separate. The two sexes display a strong degree of sexual dimorphism and the male is considerably larger than the female. The male surrounds the female and encloses her within his gynacophoric canal for the entire adult lives of the worms. So, option A is correct.
