• A. Renal calculi
• B. Chronic renal failure
• C. Acute renal failure

Answer 1

The correct option is C Acute renal failure

Kidneys are the excretory organs in humans. They help in removing nitrogenous waste from the body. Loss of kidneys’ ability to perform excretion is renal failure or kidney failure. Acute renal failure is the rapid or sudden stopping of kidney functioning. The damage is temporary and if the individual recovers from the disease, then the kidneys may start functioning normally.
Chronic renal failure is the gradual decrease in renal function. The damage is permanent and cannot be recovered.
Renal calculi or kidney stones are deposition of insoluble mass of salts inside the kidneys.
