Solution

The correct option is B Flame cells of liverfluke
Nephridia in Earthworms refers to a tubule opening to the exterior that functions as an organ of osmoregulation or excretion. While a flame cell refers to a unique excretory cell found in the platyhelminths. These cells work like a kidney, withdrawing waste components. Both the nephridia and flame cells possess the functions of excretion and osmoregulation.
So, the correct answer is 'Flame cells of liver fluke'.
