Answer»

Right choice is (c) hepatic portal

For explanation I would say: The hepatic portal connects the small intestine and the liver. After FOOD has been digested by the intestines, the extracted nutrients and toxins MOVE to the liver to allow the liver to PURIFY the blood. The liver breaks down the toxic substances into less harmful substances and allows the blood to carry it AWAY to the kidney where it gets filtered out.
