Answer:

A. Hemodialysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Hemodialysis is the method or process of using a dialysis machine (a special machine) to clean the blood.

This is done by doing a minor surgery on the patient to get the blood into the dialyzer.

This dialysis machine does the work a healthy kidney would do.
