Solution

The correct option is D Cockroach
Malpighian tubules are the excretory organs in cockroach. It is a long coiled tubular structure which lies in the abdominal body cavity and empty into the junction between midgut and hindgut. It helps in excretion by absorbing the waste from haemolymph. Platyhelminthes has flame cells as organ of excretion. Ascaris has one or two large renette gland cells for excretion. Pila has is a single large renal organ or kidney or organ of Bojanus lying behind the pericardium. It is a thick-walled sac which is much folded within which helps in excretion. So the correct answer is “cockroach”.
