This structure brings blood to the glomerulus:
A
Afferent arteriole
B
Efferent arteriole
C
PCT
D
DCT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each glomerulus is located at the beginning of the nephron. The blood supply to the glomerulus is provided via the afferent arteriole. The blood then flows through the capillary network, where it gets filtered, and then leaves the glomerulus via the efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent arterioles branch off which ultimately leads into the glomerulus of Bowman’s capsule. From here, efferent arterioles begin to form the venous system and subdivide into another set of capillaries known as the peritubular capillaries. Blood then leaves the kidney and enters the venous circulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structure and Function Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole at the vascular pole, undergoes filtration in the glomerular capillaries, and exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole at the vascular pole.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The artery that delivers blood to the afferent arteriole is c) interlobar artery. The afferent arteriole is the vessel that brings blood to the glomerulus and is an important part of regulating blood pressure as part of the renal system.

Detailed explanation-5: -The blood travels from the aorta in the heart to the renal arteries in each of the kidneys. The renal artery branches into smaller arteries called the afferent arterioles. The blood travels from the afferent arterioles to the glomerulus, located in the nephron.
