C-SHAPED STRUCTURE SURROUNDING GLOMERULUS
A
BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
B
MEDULLA
C
CORTEX
D
RENAL PELVIS
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerular capillary loops and participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries. Bowman’s capsule also has a structural function and creates a urinary space through which filtrate can enter the nephron and pass to the proximal convoluted tubule .

Detailed explanation-2: -Each glomerulus is surrounded by a “C"-shaped structure called the Bowman’s Capsule. It is here that materials such as urea, salts, water, glucose, & others pass from the blood into the nephron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle. They are all parts of the kidney. Your kidneys have many important jobs, including controlling the pH balance of your blood, regulating blood pressure and maintaining electrolyte balance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac.

Detailed explanation-5: -The parietal layer of Bowman’s capsule consists of squamous epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane (Figure 20.29). The cells are of polygonal shape and contain prominent bundles of actin filaments running in all directions.
