Answer 1

The correct option is D Malpighian tubules

Malpighian tubules are excretory organs in organisms of phylum Arthropoda.

Simple eyes, compound eyes and antennae are the sensory organs in arthropods. Simple eyes are composed of a single lens and compound eyes are composed of multiple lenses. The compound eyes are composed of a large number of structural and functional units called ommatidia. Antennae have sensory receptors that detect odour molecules in air.
