Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys are encased in a layer of fat and lie just above the waistline. Therefore, both options A and B are correct. However, option C is incorrect as the kidneys are not directly opposed to each other, but instead, one kidney is usually slightly lower than the other due to the positioning of other organs in the abdomen.
