The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks where the "forests of nephridia" open out. This term refers to a specific area in the anatomy of an earthworm where nephridia are densely packed. 2. **Identify the Excretory Organ**: The main excretory organ in earthworms is called nephridia. These structures are responsible for excreting waste from the body. 3. **Recognize the Types of Nephridia**: There are three types of nephridia in earthworms: - Pharyngeal nephridia - Integumentary nephridia - Septal nephridia 4. **Locate the Chlitalum**: The chlitalum is a specific region in the earthworm's body, located between the 14th and 16th segments. This area is characterized by a higher density of nephridia pores. 5. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided are: - Septal pores - Nephridia pores - Dorsal pores - Chlitalum pores 6. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Septal Pores**: These are not densely packed and are located in the septal region. - **Nephridia Pores**: This is a general term and does not specifically refer to the dense area. - **Dorsal Pores**: These are located on the dorsal side and do not represent the dense area of nephridia. - **Chlitalum Pores**: This option refers to the region where the nephridia are denser, specifically in the chlitalum region. 7. **Conclusion**: The "forests of nephridia" refer to the chlitalum region, which contains a high density of nephridia pores. Therefore, the correct answer is **Chlitalum Pores**. ---
