Solution

The correct option is B Urea will not be excreted.
The kidney is located in the abdominal cavity and it helps in the filtration of blood and osmoregulation. So, surgical removal of both the kidneys would result in death because urea will not be excreted which cause a fluid imbalance of the body.
So, the correct answer is option B.
