Answer:
A. Dialyzer
A dialyzer is a filter that acts as an artificial kidney in hemodialysis.
Explanation:
Dialysis or Hemodialysis is the process of removing waste products from the blood. This process is used when the kidney of a person is not functioning properly. The blood to be cleaned is passed through a machine and the machine purifies the blood. The purified blood is again returned back to the body.
The machine that purifies the blood is called a dialyzer.
The dialyzer is referred to as an Artificial Kidney as it performs the work of kidneys outside the body. It works on the principle of Osmosis. It is made up of thin fibrous material.
