Solution

The correct option is B Constant composition of the blood.
Kidneys ensure that the pH balance, osmolarity and general composition of our blood is maintained in a stable range, irrespective of how much waste is produced by filtering the blood, excreting certain substances and reabsorbing certain others. It helps in maintaining a balance in blood composition. ADH (Antidiuretic hormone) acts on the kidneys to reabsorb water and is secreted and controlled by the pituitary gland.
