D
Ureter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of the detrusor muscle is to contract during urination to push the urine out of the bladder and into the urethra. The detrusor muscle will relax to allow the storage of urine in the urinary bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ situated centrally in the pelvis; it stores urine until it is convenient to release it. At a certain volume, stretch receptors in its wall transmit nervous impulses that initiate a conscious desire to urinate. The urethra then conducts urine from the bladder to the outside.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bladder. The bladder is a triangle-shaped, hollow organ located in the lower abdomen. It is held in place by ligaments attached to the pelvic bones. The bladder’s walls relax and expand to store urine, and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a person needs to pee, the bladder walls tighten and a ring-like muscle that guards the exit from the bladder to the urethra, called the sphincter (pronounced: SFINK-tur), relaxes.
