Solution

The correct option is C Trypanosoma
The occurrence of more than one form of an individual in a single species within an interbreeding population is known as polymorphism. Trypanosoma shows this feature with three main forms, all of which have a small kinetoplast and a conspicuous undulating membrane. Hence, option B is correct.
