Solution

The correct option is D Flame cells of Planaria
A flame cell is a specialized excretory cell found in the simplest freshwater invertebrates, including flatworms, rotifers and nemerteans. These are the simplest animals to have an excretory system. Flame cells function like a kidney, removing waste materials. Bundles of flame cells are called protonephridia.
