Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Hydra is a freshwater polyp that has a remarkable property to regenerate. It has the ability to re-grow the body parts which have been damaged and similar is the case with Planaria.
Both Hydra and Planaria use regeneration as a mode of producing new organisms.
Though lizards have the ability to regenerate lost parts of the body they lack the ability to reproduce through regeneration.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
