Solution

The correct option is B Osmoregulation
The contractile vacuole is a sub-cellular organelle usually found in the freshwater protists such as Amoeba whose main role is osmoregulation. It stores excess water that enters the cell and after a stage expels it to the exterior to prevent it from bursting.
