1, 2, 4, 5

Rationale 1: The kidneys are the primary organs for regulating fluid balance, electrolyte composition, and the acidbase balance of body fluids. They also secrete the enzyme renin, which helps to control blood pressure and erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. In addition, the kidneys are responsible for the production of calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which helps maintain bone homeostasis.

Rationale 3:Aid in digestion is incorrect because this is a function of the GI tract and accessory organs.
