Solution

The correct option is D Ascaris and Oryctolagus
Sexually dimorphism means both female and male are separate and can be distinguished easily or there are differences in body size, shape, and color between male and females. This dimorphism is seen in Ascaris worms. Male Ascaris is smaller than female Ascaris. The tail end of male Ascaris is curved but female Ascaris tail end is straight. Sexual dimorphism is also observed in Oryctolagus, females are significantly heavier and larger than males. Thus, the correct answer is 'Ascaris and Oryctolagus.'
