The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism has correctly matched excretory organs, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Humans - Kidneys, Sebaceous Gland, Tear Glands** - **Analysis**: - Kidneys are indeed the primary excretory organs in humans. - Sebaceous glands are exocrine glands that secrete sebum, which lubricates the skin and hair, but they are not excretory organs. - Tear glands (lacrimal glands) produce tears for lubrication and protection of the eyes, but they do not have an excretory function. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 2. **Option 2: Earthworm - Pharyngeal Nephridia, Integumentary Nephridia, Septal Nephridia** - **Analysis**: - Earthworms possess three types of nephridia: pharyngeal nephridia (located in the anterior region), integumentary nephridia (found in the skin), and septal nephridia (located between segments). - All these structures function in excretion. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 3. **Option 3: Cockroach - Malpighian Tubules, Enteric C.k** - **Analysis**: - Malpighian tubules are the excretory organs in cockroaches, responsible for removing waste. - The term "enteric c.k" is likely a misnomer, as it does not refer to a recognized excretory structure but rather relates to the digestive system. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 4. **Option 4: Frog - Kidney, Skin, Buccal Epithelium** - **Analysis**: - Frogs do have kidneys as excretory organs. - The skin and buccal epithelium are primarily involved in respiration rather than excretion. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The organism with correctly matched excretory organs is **Earthworm** (Option 2). ---
