AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organism Group**: The question asks about the excretory organs in Platyhelminthes, which are commonly known as flatworms. 2. **Understand the Excretory System**: In Platyhelminthes, the excretory system is specialized for the removal of waste materials from the body. 3. **Recognize the Excretory Organs**: The specific excretory organs in Platyhelminthes are called **flame cells**. These cells function similarly to kidneys in other organisms, helping to filter and excrete waste. 4. **Differentiate from Other Options**: - **Nephridia**: These are found in annelids (like earthworms) and serve a similar function to kidneys but are not present in Platyhelminthes. - **Nephrons**: These are the basic structural units of kidneys found in mammals, not in flatworms. - **Archaeocytes**: Also known as amoebocytes, these are found in sponges and have different functions; they are not excretory organs. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information, the correct answer to the question is that the excretory organs in Platyhelminthes are **flame cells**. ---
