Match List I with List II regarding animal groups and their respective excretory structures. List I List II A Cephalochordates I Antennal glands B Crustaceans II Nephridia C Insects III Protonephridia D Annelids IV Malpighian tubules Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA - II, B - I, C - IV, D - III
- BA - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II
- CA - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
- DA - I, B - III, C - II, D - IV
Correct answer
C. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
Step-by-step solution
Cephalochordates (like Amphioxus) have protonephridia with solenocytes as their excretory structures. Thus, A matches with III. Crustaceans (like prawns) excrete through antennal glands or green glands. Thus, B matches with I. Insects (like cockroaches) have Malpighian tubules for excretion. Thus, C matches with IV. Annelids (like earthworms) possess nephridia as their excretory organs. Thus, D matches with II. The correct matching is A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II. Answer: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
