Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Myxine belongs to class Cyclostomata and is a hermaphrodite.
Hermaphrodite means male and female reproductive organs in the same individual.
But here, in case of Myxine, the reproductive organs consist of the anterior part being ovary and the posterior part being testis as a single organ.
Thus they are known as ovotestis.
