Solution
The correct option is D Intestine
In humans, kidneys are the chief excretory organ, other than kidneys, lungs, liver, and skin also help in the elimination of excretory wastes. Lungs remove a large amount of carbon dioxide and the significant amount of water every day. The liver secretes bile containing substances like bilirubin, biliverdin, degraded steroid hormones, vitamins. Most of these substances pass along with digestive wastes. Skin contains sweat glands through which NaCl, the small amount of urea, lactic acid etc are secreted. The intestine is not an excretory organ but it is a digestive organ.So, the correct answer is 'Intestine'.
