Solution

The correct option is C Structure for storing sperms
There are 4 pairs of small flask-shaped structures, called as spermathecae. These are present ventrolaterally, one pair in each segment 6, 7, 8 and 9. Spermathecae receive sperms from another worm during copulation and store them. So, the correct answer is option D.
