Which kidney is typically higher in the body?

Right
Left
Both are at the same level
Position varies greatly person to person

The correct answer is: Left

Both kidneys are located in the back of the body beneath the rib cage. However, the left kidney is typically positioned higher in the body than the right kidney. This is because the liver is located on the right side and takes up some space, causing the right kidney to be slightly lower. Therefore, A is incorrect because the right kidney is not typically higher. C is also incorrect because the kidneys are not at the same level. D is not a reliable answer as the variation in position does not invalidate the fact that the left kidney is typically higher.
