The correct option is D All of the above

Polymorphism is the presence of two or more different phenotypes in the same species. Physalia physalis consists of free-floating colonies with medusoid and polypoid individuals. Morphological polymorphism can be observed specifically in the species Trypanosoma copemani. In the case of termites, wing polymorphism is observed which is the cause of two types of colonies exist one with wings and the other without wings. Hence, polymorphism can be observed in all the given options.
