Solution

The correct option is C The anterior end
Strobilization is a form of asexual reproduction in certain cnidarians and helminths. Also known as transverse fission, this involves spontaneous transverse segmentation of the body. However, the new segments of the body result from transverse constrictions that appear near the upper extremity of the animal. So, the correct answer is option B.
