Solution

The correct option is B Flame cells
Excretion and osmoregulation in platyhelminthes occur with the help of a protonephridial system having flame cells. Nephridia present in annelids and contractile vacuoles in protozoans help in excretion and osmoregulation. Hepatic caeca is seen in arthropoda and it secretes digestive enzymes.
