The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism has the green gland as its excretory organ, we can analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Green Gland**: - The green gland is an excretory organ found in certain crustaceans. - Its primary function is to help in the excretion of waste materials. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Prawn**: - Prawns are decapod crustaceans, which are known to possess green glands. - These glands are located in the head region and help in the removal of waste through the antennae. - **(b) Snail**: - Snails typically have a kidney or nephridia for excretion, not green glands. - **(c) Butterfly**: - Butterflies utilize a system called Malpighian tubules for excretion, which is different from green glands. - **(d) Earthworm**: - Earthworms also have nephridia for excretion, similar to snails. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only organism that has green glands as its excretory organ is the prawn. Thus, the correct answer is **(a) Prawn**.
