Solution

The correct option is A Flame cells
Excretory organs in Taenia are flame cells which are scattered all over the mesenchyme. A flame cell is of irregular shape with granular cytoplasm and a nucleus. Flame cells function like a kidney and remove waste materials. The excretory products pass out through excretory canals and out of excretory pores.
So, correct answer is option A.
