Answer: d) regulation of blood volume and, indirectly, blood pressure.

Explanation: The urinary system is not able to regulate blood volume and blood pressure. It can maintain blood osmolarity, regulate leukocyte and platelet production, and produce enzymes and hormones involved in the maintenance of homeostasis. This leaves you with d) regulation of blood volume and, indirectly, blood pressure.

Hope this helps! :)
