Solution

The correct option is D Malpighian body
Members of the phylum Arthropoda have a true coelom and chitinous exoskeleton.
These animals have an open circulatory system. Hence, their body cavity is called a haemocoel, through which blood circulates.
Excretion takes place through the Malpighian tubules and not the Malpighian body. Arthropods do not possess a Malpighian body.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
