Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The waste product of muscle metabolism that is eliminated by the kidneys is creatinine. It is produced when the body breaks down creatine, a molecule found in muscle tissue. Creatinine is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. The level of creatinine in the blood can be used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is a measure of how well the kidneys are working. A high level of creatinine in the blood can be a sign of kidney damage or disease.
