Solution
The correct option is D Green glands ↣Annelids
Some annelids and flatworms excrete through protonephridia. Arthropods especially crustaceans like prawns excrete through specialised glands called green glands.
Molluscs such as snails have dedicated one or two primitive kidneys called nephridia. The flatworms are the simplest animals to have a dedicated excretory system; they possess an excretory structure called protonephridia. Cockroaches have an excretory system that consists of branching tubules (Malpighian) extending from the alimentary canal that absorbs solutes, water, and wastes from the surrounding body fluid.
