Solution

The correct option is A Cortex
Bowman's capsule is a cup-like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron. A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule (i.e., glomerular filtrate) and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration. All glomeruli are located in the renal cortex.
Thus, the correct answer is 'cortex.'
