The correct option is C Nephridia
Nephridia are excretory organs which are present in pairs in an earthworm. They have similar function as that of vertebrate kidney. They remove metabolic wastes from the body. Ureters are ducts through which urine passes from kidney to the urinary bladder. Stomata are tiny pores present on the under-surface of leaves which performs the function of gas exchange. Nephrons are basic structural and functional unit of kidney.
