B
bladder
C
kidney
D
urethra
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The urinary bladder is a temporary storage reservoir for urine. It is located in the pelvic cavity, posterior to the symphysis pubis, and below the parietal peritoneum. The size and shape of the urinary bladder varies with the amount of urine it contains and with the pressure it receives from surrounding organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The urinary tract includes two sets of muscles that work together as a sphincter, closing off the urethra to keep urine in the bladder between your trips to the bathroom. The internal sphincter muscles of the bladder neck and urethra stay closed until your brain sends signals to urinate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bladder is a sac-like organ in the pelvis that stores the urine produced by the kidneys. There are two tubular structures called ureters (one from each kidney) that drain the urine into the bladder. The urethra is the outflow tract of the bladder and connects the bladder to the exterior.
