urinary bladder
C
ureters
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ureters are bilateral thin (3 to 4 mm) tubular structures that connect the kidneys to the urinary bladder, transporting urine from the renal pelvis into the bladder. The muscular layers are responsible for the peristaltic activity that the ureter uses to move the urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ureters are narrow, thick-walled ducts, about 25–30 centimetres (9.8–11.8 inches) in length and from 4 to 5 millimetres (0.16 to 0.2 inch) in diameter, that transport the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
