C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The area at the center of the kidney. Urine collects here and is funneled into the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -The metanephros remains as the permanent adult kidney. It develops from the uteric bud, an outgrowth of the mesonephric duct, and the metanephric mesoderm, derived from the caudal part of the nephrogenic ridge. Urine excreted into the amniotic cavity by the fetus forms a major component of the amniotic fluid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydronephrosis occurs when there is either a blockage of the outflow of urine, or reverse flow of urine already in the bladder (called reflux) that can cause the renal pelvis to become enlarged. Hydronephrosis may or may not cause symptoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pelvic ureter extends from the iliac vessels to the bladder[3]. There is an alternative method of ureteral nomenclature: upper, middle, and lower segments. The upper ureter extends from the renal pelvis to the upper border of the sacrum. The middle ureter continues from the upper to lower borders of the sacrum.
