c. lungs
d. Pacemaker

Respuesta :

The answer is letter A.  

The kidneys play a large role in filtration and in the homeostasis of the body. They are two-bean shaped organs that filter the blood, balance the fluids in the body, and form urine for excretion. They are located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal cavity. When the kidney has high concentrations of salts and less water it tends to develop kidney stones, a condition that involves surgery for treatment. Dialysis is also a known treatment to an injury or a disease that affects the kidney.
