    Explanation

    The kidneys deactivate vitamin D and stimulate the activity of osteoclasts is wrong among the functions of kidneys.

     

    The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs in the renal system. They help the body pass waste as urine. They also help filter blood before sending it back to the heart.
