A Correct answer
Explanation

Penguins have a specialized salt gland located above their eyes that filters out excess salt from their bloodstream. They ingest seawater when eating, and this gland allows them to excrete concentrated salt through their beaks, effectively converting salt water into fresh water. This adaptation is essential for their survival in marine environments.
