Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: The kidneys are the primary organs for regulating fluid and electrolyte balance. The kidneys are the primary organs for regulating potassium balance. They secrete rennin, which helps to regulate blood pressure. The kidneys do not affect serum oxygen levels. The kidneys do not have any impact on bacterial infections.
