Solution

The correct option is B Osmoregulation
The label P refers to the contractile vacuole. The structure is responsible for osmoregulation in which the water and the salts are expelled out in order to maintain the stable environment inside the cell. This is an important stage in the maintenance of hydrostatic equilibrium in the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
