A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals-such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium-in your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys regulate the fluid and electrolyte balance of the body by continually filtering the blood. This is vital to maintain a constant extracellular fluid volume and composition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vasopressin stimulates the kidneys to conserve water and excrete less urine. When the body has excess water, the pituitary gland secretes little vasopressin, enabling the kidneys to excrete excess water in the urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The excretory system in humans consists mainly of the kidneys and bladder. The kidneys filter urea and other waste products from the blood, which are then added to the urine within the bladder. Other organs, such as the liver, process toxins but put their wastes back into the blood.
