According to the "Excretory Organs" diagram and associated text, which sequence correctly describes the path of urine out of the body?

  • A: Kidney -> Renal pelvis -> Urethra -> Urinary bladder
  • B: Kidney -> Ureter -> Urinary bladder -> Urethra
  • C: Kidney -> Urinary bladder -> Ureter -> Urethra
  • D: Kidney -> Ureter -> Urethra -> Urinary bladder

Explanation

The text explicitly states: 'Urine produced by each kidney exits through a duct called the ureter; the two ureters drain into a common sac called the urinary bladder. During urination, urine is expelled from the bladder through a tube called the urethra.' This sequence is also visually represented in the 'Excretory Organs' diagram.
