FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.

Detailed explanation-2: -The innermost layer is made up of fibrous connective tissue which covers the kidney is a renal capsule that protects the kidney from injuries and infections. The layer of fats that surrounds the renal capsule is the adipose capsule which is like a cushion and thus, acts as a good shock absorber.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal sinus is a fat-filled cavity in the middle of the kidney that cushions important parts. One of those parts is the renal pelvis, which collects urine as it’s produced by the kidney. The most common disorder associated with the renal sinus is a cyst, which often has no symptoms.
