Answer:

The correct option is BLOOD CALCIUM LEVEL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options attached to this question are given below:

A. Filtration membrane integrity

B. Systemic blood pressure

C. Blood calcium level

D. Renal artery/arteriole diameters

Kidney is an excretory organ, which functions by filtering waste products out of the blood. The rate at which the kidneys filter the blood depend on some factors; such factors include: water intake, systemic blood pressure, vasoconstriction, dehydration, filtration membrane integrity etc.

Blood calcium level does not have any effect on the rate at which the kidneys filter the blood.
