Solution

The correct option is C Cephalic alae
The female E. vermicularis is distinguished by its blunt lateral cephalic alae (“nose”) and its narrow and sharply-pointed tail, for which it gets the name “pinworm.” The worm has a characteristic white color with a slight yellow tinge.

So, the correct answer is 'Cephalic alae'.
