Solution

The correct option is A
Through sweating

The skin releases sweat through sweat glands present in the body. The sweat evaporates and helps to keep the body cool when it is warm outside. Skin assists in the process of excretion through sweating by eliminating water, salts and urea. Transpiration is a process seen in plants.
