Solution

In each organism, there are different types of excretory systems to remove the body wastes. There are different excretory organs in different organisms depending upon their function. Few of the examples are:
  • Antennal gland - They are also called green glands when their terminal portion is slightly green in color, they are mostly found in the crustaceans. E.g.; Crayfish.
  • Metanephridia - They are formed after the nephridium, which is the excretory organ of annelids. E.g.; Earthworm.
  • Protonephridia - They are also called as flame cells, they are specialized excretory organs and regulates the process of excretion and osmoregulation, they are found in Planaria.
  • Malphigian corpuscles - They are also called as renal corpuscles, the regulate the process of filtration in the nephrons of the kidney and are found in cockroaches.
So, the correct option is 'Antennal gland - Crayfish, Metanephridia - Earthworm, Protonephridia - Planaria, and Malphigian corpuscles - cockroach'
