Excretion is the process of removal of metabolic wastes from the body. 
It is a passive process. The plant stores its excretory material in old, ageing and dying cells. eg.- gums, resins, etc.
On the other hand, secretion is the process in which the materials are not necessarily ejected out of the body. The materials are also shifted from one place to other in the body.
So, the correct option is 'Excretion is the release of unwanted material from the body.'

Ten treatments were compared for their effect on the liver in mice. There were 13 animals in each treatment group. The ANOVA gave MS(within) The mean liver weights are given in the table. (a) Use Fisher LSD intervals to compare all pairs of means with and summarize the results in a table similar to Table [Time Saving Hints. First note that the sample sizes are equal; hence the same margin of error can be used for all comparisons. Furthermore, since a summary table is desired, the actual intervals need not be computed:Simply check if If it is, then the computed interval would not contain zero, so the difference is significant. Finally, note that not all possible comparisons (there are 45 ) need to be checked: when using the method of underlining to summarize results, once a subarray of groups has been underlined all comparisons within the subarray are considered nonsignificant.(b) If Bonferroni's method is used with instead of Fisher's LSD in part (a), are any pairs of means significantly different?
