Solution

The correct option is C Spermatheca
Earthworms are hermaphrodite animals, meaning that both testes and ovary are present in a single body but cross-fertilisation is the rule. At the time of reproduction two worms come to lie close to each other and exchange sperms. The sperms are stored in pouches called spermatheca. So, the correct answer is option C.
