E
"These are the main excretory organs of the insect body.
They are fine, (one cell thick), lying free within the body cavity or attached to the outside of the gut. They absorb wastes from the haemocoel either by diffusion across a concentration gradient or by active transport."

Its a trick question:
The malphigian tubules, is the old name for the proximal and distal convoluted tubules in the kidney (they didnt write kidney as an option, because is also the obvious correct answer)---
so, being the kidney with its convoluted descending and ascending malpighian tubules, responsible for cleansing the blood of excretory end products, and metabolic by products, IS the proper answer... letter "E"..
