This structure brings blood TO the glomerulus to be filtered.
A
Afferent arteriole
B
Efferent arteriole
C
Renal vein
D
Loop of Henle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -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.
