The correct answer is: filtering the blood to remove wastes.
To find the answer, we can start by eliminating the options that are not related to the kidneys' function. The option "breaking down food mechanically" refers to the role of the mouth and digestive system, not the kidneys. The option "producing bile to help digest fats" describes the function of the liver, not the kidneys.
Now we are left with two options: "reabsorbing water into the bloodstream" and "filtering the blood to remove wastes." To determine the correct answer, we can focus on the main function of the kidneys. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering the blood to remove metabolic waste products, excess water, and toxins. This waste material is then excreted from the body as urine. Therefore, the correct answer is "filtering the blood to remove wastes."
