In the retroperitoneal position, the kidney is located behind the peritoneum, specifically covered by it on the ventral side. This distinguishes it from other options where the kidney is either covered by peritoneum on the dorsal side (option 3) or not covered by peritoneum on the ventral side (option 4). The retroperitoneal positioning of the kidney is common in mammals, including humans.Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
