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-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Excretory Organs**: - Kidneys are specialized organs that filter blood and produce urine for excretion. They are found in various groups of organisms, particularly in vertebrates. 2. **Evaluating the First Option**: - The first option includes **tunicates, lancelets, cyclostomes, chondrichthyes, ostichthyes, and amphibians**. - **Tunicates**: They have a less developed excretory system and do not have kidneys. - **Lancelets**: They possess a primitive excretory system called nephridia, not kidneys. - **Cyclostomes, Chondrichthyes, Ostichthyes, and Amphibians**: These groups do have kidneys. - Since tunicates and lancelets do not have kidneys, this option is **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluating the Second Option**: - The second option includes **cyclostomes, chondrichthyes, ostichthyes, and amphibians**. - All these groups possess kidneys as their excretory organs. - Therefore, this option is **correct**. 4. **Evaluating the Third Option**: - The third option includes **lancelets, cyclostomes, chondrichthyes, ostichthyes, and amphibians**. - As established, lancelets do not have kidneys, making this option **incorrect**. 5. **Evaluating the Fourth Option**: - The fourth option includes **tunicates, cyclostomes, chondrichthyes, ostichthyes, and amphibians**. - Again, tunicates do not have kidneys, rendering this option **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The only option that includes organisms with kidneys as their excretory organs is the **second option**: **cyclostomes, chondrichthyes, ostichthyes, and amphibians**. ### Final Answer: **B. Cyclostomes, Chondrichthyes, Ostichthyes, and Amphibians** ---
