inner section of the kidney, contains most of the collecting tubules
A
peristalsis
B
hematuria
C
medulla
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mature renal medulla, the inner part of the kidney, consists of the medullary collecting ducts, loops of Henle, vasa recta and the interstitium. The unique spatial arrangement of these components is essential for the regulation of urine concentration and other specialized kidney functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -With respect to the renal corpuscle, the connecting tubule (CNT, or junctional tubule, or arcuate renal tubule) is the most proximal part of the collecting duct system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The collecting tubules connect with the nephron tubules in the outer layer of the kidney known as the cortex. Each collecting tubule is about 20–22 mm (about 0.8–0.9 inch) long and 20–50 microns (about 0.0008–0.002 inch) in diameter.

Detailed explanation-4: -The renal medulla is the inner part of your kidney. It contains most of the nephrons with their glomeruli and renal tubules. The renal tubules carry urine to the renal pelvis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Renal pelvis’
