Solution
The correct option is D Pheretima
Pheretima posthuma or earthworms belong to phylum Annelida. They reside in soil and create tunnels as they eat through the soil, hence, aerating the soil. This improves the soil structure and provides better drainage for water. They, also, eat the dead plant material, which is digested and released back into the soil. This helps the plants to grow.
Ascaris belong to phylum Aschelminthes (roundworms). Taenia and liver fluke belong to phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms).
