Solution

The correct option is A Drosophila bifurca
The largest sperms are produced by the fruit fly, Drosophila bifurca. Their sperms are like a ball of string and when measured from end to end, each sperm is about 6cm in length. They are about 20 times longer than the entire body of the male fly. This sperm untangles only after it enters the female tract.
So the correct option is 'Drosophila bifurca'.
