  Column – I   Column – II
(a) Pila (i) Flame cells
(b) Bombyx (ii) Comb plates
(c) Pleurobrachia (iii) Radula
(d) Taenia (iv) Malpighian tubules

Select the correct option from the following:

  • A
    a-iii; b-ii; c-i; d-iv
  • Correct answer
    B
    a-iii; b-iv; c-ii; d-i
  • C
    a-ii; b-iv; c-iii; d-i
  • D
    a-iii; b-ii; c-iv; d-i

Solution

  • The radula is an anatomical structure for feeding (sometimes also compared to a tongue), It is a characteristic feature of the mollusks and is found in every class of mollusk except the bivalves. Eg. Pila
  • Malpighian tubules or MTs are very highly specific organs of arthropods for excretion and osmoregulation. Eg. Bombyx
  • Comb-plate is a locomotory organ made up of a row of very strong cilia fused together. Eg. Pleurobrachia
  • Flame cells are specialized for excretion present in some freshwater invertebrates like flatworms, rotifers, and nemerteans. Eg. Taenia

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
