Solution

The correct option is A Myxine
Myxine is a genus of hagfish, which are eel-shaped, slime-producing marine fish. The kidney of Myxine consists of large, paired, segmentally arranged renal corpuscles connected to the archinephric ducts by short tubules. The blood supply to the kidneys is arterial in origin, there is no renal portal system. So, the kidneys are archinephric and it can filter coelomic fluid and blood.
