Exam answer
The EXCRETORY SYSTEM (urinary system) of man.
Explanation
Identify it from the two bean-shaped kidneys with tubes running down to a single sac — no other system in the syllabus has that shape.
The organs in order: KIDNEY → URETER → URINARY BLADDER → URETHRA → outside.
It is also called the URINOGENITAL system in the male, because the urethra there carries both urine and semen — though never at the same time.
