water
B
blood plasma

urine
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal corpuscle consists of several histological structures (FIG 1): Glomerulus capillaries form a central tuft of looped capillaries located in the center of the renal corpuscle. These capillaries deliver blood and create a large surface area for renal filtration. These capillaries are optimized for filtration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerular capsule is also referred to as the Bowman’s capsule. It has a space known as the Bowman’s space where the renal filtrate collects. This capsule also encloses the glomerulus, which performs the filtration of the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kidneys are a filter system After the blood is cleaned, it flows back into the body through the renal veins. Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule.
