Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Arborescent malphighian tubules are found in Galleria sp.
The Malpighian tubule system is a type of excretory and osmoregulatory system found in some insects, myriapods, arachnids and tardigrades.
Arborescent refers to resemblance as a tree in growth or appearance. And the malphigian tubule system consists of branching tubules that resemble branches of trees extending from the alimentary canal that absorbs solutes, water, and wastes from the surrounding hemolymph.
