None of the above options are correct.
Marine iguanas actually have specialized glands near their noses that filter out excess salt from their blood. They excrete this excess salt through their nostrils, which earn them the nickname "snot-nosed iguanas." This process helps them maintain homeostasis by regulating the salt content in their body and preventing dehydration.
