Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In Ascaris, there is a single testis.

It extends to the middle of the body and has the form of a long, thread like, highly twisted tube.

In males only the anterior part of the testis is functional, i.e.

takes part actively in copulation.

Such a gonad (testis) is called telogonic.
