Answer: C. tubules in the kidney

The chief function of kidney is the production of urine. Kidney is the excretory system of the body. The blood being filtered by the glomerulus of the nephron reaches to the renal tubule in order to reabsorb water, glucose, nutrients and ions such as sodium. All these components are reabsorbed back into the blood. Therefore, tubules in the kidney functions like a recycling center as they allow the reabsorption and reuse of valuable components before they are excreted out along with urine.
