Solution

The correct option is C Chloragogen cells
Chloragogen cells store glycogen and neutralize toxins, are yellowish in color due to the presence of yellow granules called chloragosomes and are present in the coelomic fluid of some annelids. It is similar to the liver of a vertebrate. They take part in the deamination of amino acids and synthesis of urea. Silicates taken in along with food are deposited in the chloragogen cells.
So the correct answer is 'chloragogen cells'.
