The answer is C: Kidney

Kidney is the most common organ transplant

On average 20,000 kidney, 2000 heart, and 8000 liver transplants are performed in the US each year.

Living donors can donate one kidney or a portion of the liver. One kidney is sufficient for a healthy, normal life.

The donor’s liver will regenerate back to its full size in approximately two months.
