Solution

The correct option is C In the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by the secretion of H+ and K+ ions
Renal collecting tubule is also called as collecting duct of Kidney. It is a long narrow coiled tube that concentrate and transport urine from the nephrons into the renal pelvis and ureters. It maintains the pH and ionic balance of blood by secreting H+ and K+ ions. It uptakes sodium ions and extrudes potassium ions through Na+/K+ ATPase transporter. They also play important role in absorbing many ions and reabsorbing water.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
