Solution

The correct option is C 14th, 15th and 16th
In mature earthworms, a prominent dark band of glandular tissue called clitellum is present in the 14th, 15th and 16th segments. It produces a cocoon inside which the fertilisation and development takes place. After about 3 weeks, each cocoon produces an average of four worms.
