Solution

The correct option is C cloaca
The cloaca is the common chamber where the alimentary tract, the urinary tract and the reproductive tracts empty in birds, reptiles, amphibians and most fish. In females, this also serves as the region where the sperms get deposited during copulation.

The oesophagus is the food pipe and the anus is the last part of the alimentary canal.
