Solution

The correct option is B Earthworm
Hermaphrodites are those organisms in which both the sex organs are present. The cockroach, ant and termite are monosexual. The male and female reproductive organs are present in different individuals. Whereas in the case of earthworm, the testis and ovaries are present in the same individual and is referred to as a hermaphrodite.
So, the correct answer is 'Earthworm'.
