Explanation:

Step1: Calculate difference for Kidney

Difference = 95119 - 21167 = 73952

Step2: Check other organs

Liver: 13511 - 8250 = 5261; Lung: 2530 - 1432 = 1098; Heart: 3806 - 3408 = 398; Pancreas: 871 - 192 = 679

Step3: Compare to 74000

Kidney's difference (73952) ≈ 74000

Answer:

Kidney
