Solution

The correct option is C Malpighian tubules
Excretion is performed by Malpighian tubules. Each tubule is lined by glandular and ciliated cells. They absorb nitrogenous waste products and convert them into uric acid which is excreted out through the hindgut. Therefore, this insect is called uricotelic. The fat body nephrocytes and urecose glands also help in excretion.
So the correct answer is 'Malpighian tubules'.
