Correct Answer: (d) Nephrons
Explanation:

· Each kidney contains millions of nephrons, which work to maintain the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance.
Other Options:
· Nucleus: The nucleus is the control center of a cell and is not involved in excretion.
· Nutrition: Nutrition refers to the process of obtaining and utilizing nutrients, unrelated to excretion.
· Mitochondria: Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production, not excretory processes.
