Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c) Flatworms.
Flatworms, also known as Platyhelminthes, include several species that are endoparasites, meaning they live inside the bodies of their host animals.
 Common examples of parasitic flatworms are tapeworms (cestodes) and flukes (trematodes).
 These parasites can infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans, causing various diseases.
 Flatworms have adapted to their parasitic lifestyle with features such as hooks, suckers, and complex life cycles involving multiple hosts.
