Solution

The correct option is B For storage of sperm
Earthworm is a hermaphrodite animal but shows cross-fertilization.
Each spermatheca is flask-shaped.
Spermathecae are pouches used to store the sperms received from the other worm during copulation.
They are lined with epithelial tissue, and they have variable shapes.
The spermatheca opens externally by small ducts.

So, the correct answer is option B.
