Solution

The correct option is C Earthworm
Ants, aphids, cockroaches are unisexual animals, that means, male and female sex organs are present in separate individuals.
Only earthworm has both the sex organs housed in the same individual. Those organisms in which both the male and female sex organs are present in the same individual are known as hermaphrodites.
Hence, earthworms are hermaphrodites.
