Solution

The correct option is D Leech

  • Organisms having a male as well as female reproductive organs are called hermaphrodite animals.
  • It is common in most of the invertebrates like flatworms, arrow worms, sea slugs, land snails, barnacles, earthworms, and leeches.
  • Though they have both male and female organs, self-fertilization does not occur in most of them.
So, the correct answer is option C.
