Solution

The correct option is B Kidney
The term analogous refers to having similar function and different origin. Contractile vacuoles are present in the single-celled organism like amoeba. Contractile vacuole are excretory and osmoregulatory in function. Hence both kidney and contractile vacuole are analogous as they both have a similar function i.e excretion.
So, the correct answer is 'Kidney'
