Solution

The correct option is A Excretion
Chloragogen cells, also called as y cells are cells in annelids that function similarly to the liver in vertebrates. The cells store glycogen and neutralize toxins, are yellowish in colour due to the presence of yellow granules called chloragosomes and are present in the coelomic fluid of some annelids. These cells are derived from the inner coelomic epithelium and help in excretory functions.
So the correct answer is 'Excretion'.
