The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given problem, we need to match the items listed in List I with their corresponding descriptions in List II. Let's break down each option:

 

List I

 

List II

ATaeniaINephridia
BParamoeciumIIContractile vacuole
CPeriplanetaIIIFlame cells
DPheretimaIVUrecose gland
  1. Taenia is a type of flatworm, and it is associated with Flame cells (III), which are involved in osmoregulation and excretion.
  2. Paramoecium, a freshwater protist, uses a Contractile vacuole (II) for expelling excess water to maintain osmotic balance.
  3. Periplaneta, commonly known as the cockroach, has Urecose glands (IV), which are involved in the excretion of nitrogenous waste.
  4. Pheretima, known as the earthworm, utilizes Nephridia (I) to excrete metabolic waste.

Therefore, matching List I with List II gives us the mapping: A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I.

The correct answer is: A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
