The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where hemoglobin is found in a dissolved state in earthworms. 2. **Identifying Key Components**: In earthworms, there are specialized structures known as blood glands located in segments 4, 5, and 6. These glands are responsible for producing blood cells and hemoglobin. 3. **Examining the Options**: - **Option A: Lymph** - Lymph does not contain hemoglobin; it is a fluid that helps in the immune response and does not carry oxygen. - **Option B: Bile** - Bile is involved in digestion and does not contain hemoglobin. - **Option C: Plasma** - Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood and in earthworms, hemoglobin is indeed found dissolved in this plasma. - **Option D: Blood Corpuscles** - While blood corpuscles (like red blood cells in humans) typically contain hemoglobin, in earthworms, hemoglobin is not contained within blood cells but is dissolved in the plasma. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is that hemoglobin in earthworms is present in a dissolved state in **blood plasma**. ### Final Answer: Hemoglobin in earthworms is present in dissolved state in **blood plasma**. ---
