The correct Answer is:
To determine which group of organisms has kidneys as their excretory organs, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze the first option - **Option 1**: Tunicates, Lenslates, Cyclostome, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians. - **Tunicates**: They have a simple excretory system and do not possess kidneys. - **Lenslates**: They have paired nephritia but not true kidneys. - **Cyclostomes**: They have a primitive excretory system. - **Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish)**: They have kidneys. - **Osteichthyes (bony fish)**: They also have kidneys. - **Amphibians**: They have well-developed kidneys. Since Tunicates and Lenslates do not have kidneys, this option is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option - **Option 2**: Cyclostomes, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians. - **Cyclostomes**: As mentioned, they have a primitive excretory system. - **Chondrichthyes**: They possess kidneys. - **Osteichthyes**: They possess kidneys. - **Amphibians**: They possess kidneys. Although Cyclostomes do not have kidneys, the presence of kidneys in Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians makes this option correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option - **Option 3**: Lenslate, Cyclostome, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians. - **Lenslates**: As previously stated, they do not have true kidneys. - **Cyclostomes**: They have a primitive excretory system. - **Chondrichthyes**: They have kidneys. - **Osteichthyes**: They have kidneys. - **Amphibians**: They have kidneys. Since Lenslates and Cyclostomes do not have kidneys, this option is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option - **Option 4**: Tunicates, Cyclostome, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians. - **Tunicates**: They do not have kidneys. - **Cyclostomes**: They have a primitive excretory system. - **Chondrichthyes**: They have kidneys. - **Osteichthyes**: They have kidneys. - **Amphibians**: They have kidneys. Since Tunicates and Cyclostomes do not have kidneys, this option is also incorrect. ### Conclusion The correct answer is **Option 2: Cyclostomes, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Amphibians**. While Cyclostomes do not have kidneys, the other groups do, making this option the best choice.
