Solution

The correct option is C Gills
A gill is a respiratory organ found in large aquatic organisms that extract dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon dioxide.
Tracheae is the cartilaginous tube descending from the larynx to the bronchi and carrying air to the lungs as in insects.
Malpighian tubules are involved in excretion (not respiration).
Book lungs is the respiration organ used for atmospheric gas exchange that is found in many arachnids.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
