Solution

The correct option is D Hydra, leech, tapeworm
Hermaphrodite animals are those animals, which are having both male and female sex organs or other sexual characteristics.
Hydra can be either hermaphroditic (having both male and female sex organs) or be of separate sexes. Leeches are hermaphrodites meaning that a single individual is both male and female at the same time. Most tapeworms are hermaphroditic. Ascaris, Homo sapiens, toad etc. are not hermaphrodites. Hence, option D is correct.
