Functionwise, just as there are nephridia in an earthworm, so are

1. parotid glands in toad
2. statocysts in prawn
3. flame cells in liver fluke
4. myotomes in fish

Correct answer: flame cells in liver fluke

Solution

Nephridia are excretory structures in earthworms. Flame cells in liver fluke are also excretory/osmoregulatory structures, so they are functionally analogous. The other options are sensory, secretory, or muscular structures, not excretory ones.
