Option “1” is correct
Adamsia palliate (Sea anemone) and Common Sea Pen also known as Pennatula phosphorea are examples of Coelenterata.
882. Which one of the following is NOT a function of kidney?

1. Regulation of blood pH
2. Removal of metabolic wastes from the body
3. Production of antibodies
4. Regulation of osmotic pressures of the blood

Option “3” is correct
Kidneys are essential in the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid-base balance, and regulation of blood pressure (via maintaining salt and water balance). They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove wastes which are diverted to the urinary bladder whereas the antibodies are produced by antigens in the cell.

4. Respiratory system

Option “2” is correct
A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney which is part of excretory system. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.
