Solution

The correct option is B Erythropoietin
The kidneys ensure that the make-up and volume of the fluids in the body is correct. They help control the chemical balance of the blood and regulate the body’s level of sodium, potassium, and calcium. The kidneys remove waste products and excess water from the body and so help to regulate blood pressure. They activate vitamin D, which helps to maintain strong bones and produce erythropoietin, a hormone that is vital for the production of red blood cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
