Solution

The correct option is B Trematoda
Cestoda is a class of parasitic flatworms (tapeworms).
Trematoda is a class which includes two groups of parasitic worms (flukes).
Turbellaria includes all the sub-groups that are not exclusively parasitic i.e., some of them in this class are free-living like Pseudoceros dimidiatus.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
