Correct Answer: Flame cells


Solution : The correct option is Flame cells.

Flame cells are responsible for water regulation and solute balance in the flatworm's body by excreting excess waste and maintaining proper osmotic balance.

Flame cells are mainly found in freshwater organisms. These are the specialised cells that perform the function of excretion. Flame cells are found in clusters and are known as protonephridia. These cells also contain a nucleus. Flagella, a cup-shaped projection, also projects out of the cell.
