Solution

The correct option is A 6th-9thsegments
The spermathacae are also called as receptaculum seminis. species of earthworms have four pairs of spermathecae one pair each in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th segments. The spermathecae receive and store the spermatozoa of another earthworm during copulation. They are lined with epithelium and are variable in shape: some are thin, heavily coiled tubes.
So the correct answer is '6th - 9th segments'.
