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.
