The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which organism has its excretory organs correctly stated, we will analyze each option provided (A, B, C, D) based on the information about their excretory systems. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option A (Cockroach)**: - The cockroach belongs to the phylum Arthropoda. - Its excretory system consists of Malpighian tubules, which are responsible for the excretion of uric acid. - The mention of "enteric CK" (which is related to digestion) indicates that this option is incorrect for excretion. - **Conclusion**: Option A is incorrect. 2. **Analyze Option B (Frog)**: - Frogs possess kidneys, skin, and buccal epithelium. - While kidneys are indeed excretory organs, the skin and buccal epithelium are primarily involved in respiration, not excretion. - Since not all mentioned organs are excretory, this option is also incorrect. - **Conclusion**: Option B is incorrect. 3. **Analyze Option C (Human)**: - Humans have kidneys as their main excretory organs, which are responsible for filtering waste from the blood. - Sebaceous glands (oil glands) and tear glands (lacrimal glands) are not primarily excretory organs; they serve different functions (oil secretion and tear production, respectively). - Since not all organs listed are excretory, this option is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: Option C is incorrect. 4. **Analyze Option D (Earthworm)**: - Earthworms belong to the phylum Annelida and exhibit metameric segmentation. - Their excretory system consists of nephridia, which are tubular structures that function in excretion. - Nephridia can be classified into three types: pharyngeal, integumentary, and septal, all of which serve excretory functions. - Since all mentioned structures are correctly identified as excretory, this option is correct. - **Conclusion**: Option D is correct. ### Final Answer: The organism with correctly stated excretory organs is **Earthworm (Option D)**.
