Which of the following is a sentimentally arranged excretory system?
Correct answer: B. Metanephridium
- A. Protonephridium
- B. Metanephridium
- C. Malpighian tubules
- D. Nephrons
Explanation
Metanephridia are segmentally arranged excretory organs, with repeated units occurring in successive body segments of animals such as earthworms. The likely alternative is protonephridia, but these are flame-cell systems rather than segmentally repeated metanephridia.

About Kidney and Urinary System
The kidney and urinary system remove nitrogenous wastes, regulate water and ion balance, and help maintain blood pH through filtration, selective reabsorption and secretion. Questions cover nephron structure, ultrafiltration, the loop of Henle, collecting ducts, urine formation and the roles of ADH and aldosterone, while distinguishing excretion from egestion.
