Solution

The correct option is B Fasciola
  • The alimentary canal of Fasciola hepatica is incomplete. It belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes. The digestive system begins with a mouth surrounded by the oral sucker, pharynx, oesophagus, and intestine but, it does not terminate in the anus. It relies on extracellular digestion.
  • The other organisms mentioned have a complete alimentary canal. Ascaris, Wuchereria, and Rhabditis belong to the phylum Nematoda and hence possess a complete alimentary canal.
  • So, the correct answer is option A.
