Solution

The correct option is B proximal convoluted tubule
The filtrate in Bowman's space enters the first duct in the renal tubule. This duct is called proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) because it is in proximity (close to) to the Bowman's capsule. PCT is located in the kidney's cortex. It is responsible for reabsorption of useful materials like glucose, water, etc.
