Solution

The correct option is B Malpighian tubules
Phylum Mollusca includes organisms that lack malpighian tubules. Instead, they have feather-like gills in the mantle cavity that are useful for respiration and excretion. Visceral hump and radula are present in the molluscs.
Presence of malpighian tubules is a feature of phylum arthropoda. It is predominantly used for the purpose of excretion.
