• A. Body wall of Leucosolenia
  
• B. Blood of earthworm
  
• C. Coelomic fluid of earthworm
  
• D. Blood of cockroach
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Coelomic fluid of earthworm

The chloragen cells are small and star-shaped cells. They are found in the coelomic fluid of the earthworm and are derived form the inner coelomic epithelium. The cells are found in many animals and function similar to liver. The cells contain glycogen and help in neutralising toxins. The cells are called yellow cells due to the presence of yellow granules. They are involved in excretory function. They remove some of the excretory products. They also help in keeping the skin moist and thus, helps in respiration.

So, the correct answer is option C.
