  • D Penicillin ✔ ✖
Correct Answer

Explanation

The kidneys play an essential role in filtering the blood and eliminating waste products from the body. Creatine is a waste product that is formed by the metabolism of muscle tissue, and creatinine is a waste product of creatine that is produced by the kidneys. H+ ions are secreted by the kidneys to help regulate the body's pH balance. Penicillin, on the other hand, is a drug that is not typically secreted by the kidneys. Instead, penicillin is eliminated from the body through a combination of renal and non-renal mechanisms.
