Answer 8

The correct answer is the kidney. The kidney is an organ in the excretory system that plays a crucial role in filtering blood and removing waste products from it. To arrive at this answer, you can start by understanding the components of the excretory system and their functions. The excretory system is responsible for eliminating waste products from the body to maintain its internal balance. It includes organs such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. By examining each option, you can eliminate the ureter, urethra, and bladder from being the correct answer because these organs are involved in the transportation and storage of urine, rather than filtering blood. Finally, you'll arrive at the kidney as the organ responsible for filtering blood and eliminating waste.
