The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the self-fertilization process in tapeworms. We need to identify the correct statement regarding how tapeworms reproduce. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The term "self-fertilizing" indicates that an organism can fertilize its own eggs with its own sperm. Tapeworms are known to be hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "The sperm produced in the testers of one individual can fertilize the egg produced by the same individual." - **Option B**: "The sperm produced in the testers of one individual can fertilize the egg produced by a different individual." - **Option C**: "Sperm of one individual fertilizes the egg of different species." - **Option D**: "The ovum of one individual fertilizes the sperm of a different gender." 4. **Evaluating Option A**: This option correctly describes self-fertilization. Since tapeworms have both male and female reproductive organs, the sperm from one individual can indeed fertilize its own eggs. 5. **Evaluating Option B**: This option describes cross-fertilization, which is not applicable to self-fertilizing organisms like tapeworms. 6. **Evaluating Option C**: This option suggests interspecies fertilization, which is not a characteristic of tapeworm reproduction. 7. **Evaluating Option D**: This option also describes a scenario that does not apply to tapeworms, as it involves different genders rather than self-fertilization. 8. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option A**, as it accurately describes the self-fertilizing nature of tapeworms. ### Final Answer: **Tapeworms are self-fertilizing in which the sperm produced in the testers of one individual can fertilize the egg produced by the same individual (Option A).**
