2, 3, 1
D
3, 2, 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct sequence of blood flow from the interlobular artery is: Interlobular artery → afferent arteriole → glomerular capillaries → efferent arteriole → peritubular capillaries → interlobular vein → arcuate vein.

Detailed explanation-2: -An interlobar artery extends along the boundary of each renal lobe (renal column) and then branches at right angles to form an arcuate artery that runs along the corticomedullary junction (Fig. 11-7). Interlobular arteries branch from the arcuate artery and extend into the cortex.

Detailed explanation-3: -2.3. The arcuate arteries follow an arch-like course parallel to the renal capsule along the corticomedullary junction. The arcuate arteries also give rise to interlobular arteries, which ascend radially within the cortex. Afferent arterioles arise from the interlobular arteries and supply the glomeruli.
