Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Skin
1. The leech has no specialised respiratory organs.
2. A dense network of capillaries lies between the epidermal cells.
3. Gases diffuse through the skin, so respiration is cutaneous.
4. Lungs are the respiratory organ of the rabbit, not the leech, so that is the trap.
