Renal tubule and vasa recta
B
Renal corpuscle and renal tubule
C
Glomerulus and renal tubule
D
Renal corpuscle and glomerulus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule. The nephron is responsible for filtration, excretion and resorption. It filters out small molecules from plasma, selectively re-absorbs most of the water, and some of the molecules, and also secretes some secretory products into the filtrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Malpighian body or renal corpuscle and renal tubules are the two parts of a nephron. The renal corpuscle functions in the filtration of the plasma. The two components of renal corpuscles are the Bowmen’s capsule and the glomerulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nephron consists of six parts, i.e., Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Proximal convoluted tube, Loop of Henle, Distal convoluted tube, and the collecting duct.
