Solution

The correct option is C mostly endoparasitic and few are free-living
Platyhelminthes are mostly endoparasites. A few species are free-living such as Planaria. Endoparasites are those which live within the host and imbibe the nutrients from them. Example: Tapeworm (Taenia) and Liver fluke (Fasciola).
