A.
Round worm
B.
Trematode
Answer
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Normally eggs are operculated in Trematode.
The egg is found in the faeces, sputum, or urine of the definitive host. Depending on the species, it will either be non-embryonated (immature) or embryonated (ready to hatch).
The eggs of all trematodes (except schistosomes) are operculated. Some eggs are eaten by the intermediate host (snail) or they are hatched in their habitat (water).
