Solution

The correct option is C Perfusion
  • Reabsorption is an important function of the kidney where water and solutes are removed from the tubule and return back to the blood.
  • Secretion is an opposite function of reabsorption where the waste is removed from blood capillaries and excreted out of the body.
  • Filtration is also a renal function as it passes the solute and water from the plasma to the renal tubule.
  • Here perfusion stands as an odd one as it is not a renal function. It is a process of passage of fluid through the circulatory system to an organ or a tissue.
So, the correct answer is option C.
