ureter
B
glomeruli
C
nephrons
D
urethras
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. Two ureters. These narrow tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ureters are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is a muscular tube that drains into the bladder. Smooth muscle contractions in the walls of the ureters, over time, send the urine in small spurts into the bladder, the organ where urine is stored before it can be eliminated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the correct path taken by urine in our body is the Kidney → Ureter → Urinary bladder → Urethra.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ureter is a small tube, or duct, that connects the bladder and kidneys. Urine passes through the ureter from the kidneys to the bladder. The urethra is the tubular path that connects the bladder to the body’s exterior, allowing urine to exit the body.
