Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Letter "B" represents the nephridium tubules in the earthworm's excretory system. These tubules are responsible for filtering waste products from the earthworm's body fluids and excreting them through the excretory pore (represented by letter "A"). The storage bladder (represented by letter "C") is where the filtered fluids are temporarily stored before being released through the excretory pore. The ureter (represented by letter "D") and funnel (represented by letter "E") are not part of the earthworm's excretory system.
