Q: What is the reason for the right kidney being slightly lower than the left?  

Answer: C

The kidneys are paired organs and are located on both sides of the spine. The right kidney is positioned slightly lower than the left kidney, and this is due to the considerable space occupied by the liver on the right side of the body. The liver is the largest organ in the body and is situated in the upper right side of the abdomen. The right kidney has to be situated slightly lower than the left to accommodate the large size of the liver. The left kidney is not obstructed by any organ, which allows it to be situated higher than the right kidney.
