Solution

The correct option is B Coccon formation
During breeding season, glandular cells of clitellum become very active and secrete a slimy substance that forms a girdle like covering around the clitellum. In the air, this gradually dries and hardens to form a tough but elastic, ring like egg capsule or cocoon.
So, the correct answer is option A.
