Solution

The correct option is B (2) -medullary pyramids, (3) -calyces , (4) -afferent, (5) -efferent
Renal medulla is the inner-most region of the kidney, arranged into pyramid-like structures, that consists of the bulk of nephron structure. The point of each pyramid, called the papilla, projects into a calyx. The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the afferent arteriole – a fine branch of the renal artery. Blood from the glomerulus is carried away by an efferent arteriole.
So, the correct option is '(2) -medullary pyramids, (3) -calyces , (40 -afferent,
(5) -efferent'.
