Solution

The correct option is D Pharynx
The mouth of Ascaris opens into a muscular pharynx, which sucks food from the host intestine and transfers to its ribbon-like intestine. Its intestine is thin walled for absorption of digested food products into the pseudocoel. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
