Solution

The correct option is C suprapharyngeal
The central nervous system in leeches is enclosed in the ventral haemocoelomic channel and consists of a nerve ring on the dorsal side called as the suprapharyngeal ganglion. It is connected by a pair of lateral circumpharyngeal connectives with the ventral sub-pharyngeal ganglion.
