Solution

The correct option is A Ureter
The distal convoluted tubule is the last part of the nephron and it empties its contents or urine into the collecting duct.

The collecting duct of the kidney consists of a series of tubules and ducts they connect to a minor calyx or directly to the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis functions as a funnel for urine flowing to the ureter.
Ureters are tube-like structures that connect the kidneys with the urinary bladder. Each ureter arises at the renal pelvis of a kidney and travels down through the abdomen to the urinary bladder.
The urethra is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the external urethral orifice.
