    The correct option is D

    Explanation:

    The kidneys regulate the levels of water and sodium in the human body.

    Information Booster:

    • Osmoregulation: The kidneys maintain the balance of water and electrolytes, crucial for homeostasis.
    • Water Regulation: They adjust water reabsorption based on hydration status, conserving water when dehydrated and increasing urine output when overhydrated.
    • Sodium Regulation: The kidneys filter sodium and reabsorb it as needed, influenced by hormones like aldosterone, which helps manage blood pressure and fluid balance.
    • Hormonal Control: Hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone play significant roles in regulating both water and sodium levels.
