A
Circulation
B
Digestion
C
Excretion
D
Reproduction
E
Respiration
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The nephron is primarily associated with excretion. It's the functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and forming urine, which is then excreted from the body. While the nephron does interact with the circulatory system by filtering blood, its main role is to remove waste and excess water, not to directly participate in blood circulation.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Overgrazing is a phenomenon that occurs when livestock, such as cattle, sheep, or goats, graze a piece of land excessively, leading to detrimental impacts on the soil and vegetation. The loss of vegetation due to overgrazing exposes the soil to erosion by wind and water. Without the stabilizing effect of plants, soil particles become more susceptible to being carried away by wind and rain.
