Solution

The correct option is A Clitellum
In a mature worm, segments 14-16 are covered by a prominent dark band of glandular tissue called clitellum. Hence, the body of the earthworm is divided into three regions- preclitellar, clitellar and postclitellar segments. This clitellum serves in reproduction.
