(a) nematoblasts of Hydra
(b) flame cells of Planaria
(c) gills of Prawn
(d) trachea of insects.
Answer:(b) Flames of Planaria
The nephridia in earthworm are analogous to flame cells of Planaria since both of them have excretory functions.Nematoblasts of Hydra are organs of locomotion, food capture and anchorage.Gills and trachea are organs of respiration in prawn and insects respectively.Analogous organs are organs of very different organisms are superficially similar but have evolved from vastly different origins.
