Solution

The correct option is B Kidneys
Kidneys are part of the excretory system.
It helps in eliminating wastes produced inside the body.
It also helps in maintaining the water balance and pH of the blood in the body.
If the body is well hydrated, the amount of water reabsorbed by the tubules is less. The urine would be dilute in this case.
If the body is dehydrated then a lot of water is reabsorbed by the tubes and the urine is more concentrated.
