Solution

The correct option is A Liver
The human liver carries out more than 500 metabolic functions, including the detoxification of harmful substances in the body. Over 2 quarts of blood pass through this important organ every minute of every day, filtering and transforming chemicals to keep the body clean. The liver also produces bile into which fat-soluble toxins are attached and then discharged into the gastrointestinal tract.
