Solution

The correct option is D malpighian corpuscle
Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together constitute the malpighian corpuscle or renal corpuscle. It is a cup like sac that is present in the beginning of the nephron that encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.

Henle’s loop is a u-shaped tubule and is a part of nephron that helps to absorb the water and sodium chloride from the urine.
Collecting duct is the last part of a long, twisting tube that collects urine from the nephron and moves it into the ureters.
Juxtaglomerular apparatus is the specialized structure in the kidney formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arterioles.
