Roundworm
-
Earthworm
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Earthworms improve soil fertility through burrowing, which aerates the soil and enhances water infiltration. Their digestive process converts organic matter into nutrient-rich castings (vermicast) that boost soil nutrient content and structure. Beetles and roundworms don't contribute to soil fertility in the same way, while ringworm is actually a fungus that causes infection.
