Nephron is the functional unit of kidney and helps in urine production. All the parts asked in the question are parts of nephron.
$\bullet$ Pressure filtration or ultrafiltration happens in glomerulus present within Bowman's capsule (A). Waste materials, nutrients and water is filtered out from the blood. This filterate is called primary urine.
$\bullet$ Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) (B) is responsible for reabsorption of useful materials like vitamins, glucose, amino acids, potassium, calcium and water from the primary urine.
$\bullet$ Loop of Henle helps in maintaining the concentration of urine by reabsorbing the water and salts from it.
