The correct option is B Kidney
The kidney is an excretory organ which helps in purification of blood. It plays an important role in the maturation of RBC by the release of erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red cell production. Under low levels of oxygen, the kidney will secrete erythropoietin hormone to increase the production of red blood cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
