Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option C because the proximal convoluted tubule is the tube that comes directly after the Bowman’s capsule and is, therefore, the closest to the renal corpuscle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is a segment of the renal tubule responsible for the reabsorption and secretion of various solutes and water. The PCT is located in the renal cortex, the outer part of the kidney, and is the first segment of the renal tubule, where it receives the filtrate from the renal corpuscle.
Detailed explanation-3: -The front end of a nephron is called the renal corpuscle, a structure consisting of a glomerulus (a tangled mass of small capillaries) embedded within a cup-like structure called Bowman’s capsule. Bowman’s capsule drains into a proximal convoluted tubule that leads into a hairpin-shaped loop of Henle.
