Solution

The correct option is A Syncytial epidermis
The syncytial epidermis is found in Ascaris. It is composed of a peripheral layer of continuous cytoplasm, with scattered nuclei and connected to underlying nucleated cell bodies by small cytoplasmic bridges. The multinucleated condition in plants is called coenocytic, whereas in an animal is known as syncytial.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (D).
