Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Kidneys filter blood to form urine by expelling excess salts, water, and waste materials.
• Option B: The bladder stores urine, not expel the excess substances to form urine.
• Option C: The urethra is the tube through which urine is excreted from the bladder, not where urine is formed by expelling excess substances.

A. kidneys
