A
solid
B
liquid
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After the body has taken the food components that it needs, waste products are left behind in the bowel and in the blood. The kidney and urinary systems help the body to get rid of liquid waste called urea. They also help to keep chemicals (such as potassium and sodium) and water in balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys remove waste from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a ball of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus. There is also a small tube called a renal tubule, which drains the urine and joins other tubules carrying the urine out of the kidney to the ureter.
