Solution

The correct option is D Earthworm
The blood of annelids (earthworms) contains haemoglobin, the same respiratory pigment as in humans. It is this that makes their blood the same red colour. The earthworm haemoglobin (Hb) is a large extracellular haemoprotein flowing in a closed circulatory system.
Hence the correct option is D.
