The correct answer is: a) some animals live in dry or salty environments.
Kidneys that can conserve water play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, especially for animals living in dry or salty environments. These kidneys help in conserving water by adjusting the volume and concentration of urine produced, allowing these animals to retain water and prevent dehydration in harsh environmental conditions.
