Solution

The correct option is C Bowman's capsule
The Bowman's capsule is a part of the nephron. It is a double-walled, cup-shaped structure around the glomerulus of each nephron of the vertebrate kidney. It serves as a filter to remove organic wastes, excess inorganic salts, and water. It is also called the malpighian capsule.
So, the correct answer is option C.
