Solution

The correct option is B Tapeworm
Hermaphrodites are the organisms which possess both the male and the female reproductive systems in the same body. The tapeworms are the example of hermaphrodites which can perform self-fertilization. The male gamete can fertilize the female gamete in the same organism. The earthworms are hermaphrodites which perform cross-fertilization. The frog and snakes generally show sexual dimorphism, different sexes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
