The correct option is A Liver fluke
Mehlis gland is primarily present surrounding the ootype of all platyhelminthes which includes liver fluke and it is a part of the female reproductive organ. As a part of female reproductive organ it has an important role in guiding the ova out towards the passage ending in the uterus by its secretion which lubricates the passage of uterus through which ova move.
