Solution

The correct option is D Green glands
Green glands are also known as antennal glands which are mainly found in crustaceans like prawns and eliminate nitrogenous wastes from their body.
Malpighian tubules are the excretory structures found in most of the insects such as cockroaches.
Nephridia remove nitrogenous wastes from annelids like the earthworm.
Kidneys are found in vertebrates. They are complex excretory structures. They filter blood and help in elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
