Solution

The correct option is B Mesoderm
In the embryo, the kidneys and ureters develop from three overlapping sequential systems; the pronephros, the mesonephros, and the metanephros. They are all derived from the urogenital ridge.
The nephrogenic cord/urogenital ridge extends from the cervical to sacral region in the posterior abdominal wall developed from the mesoderm.
So, the correct option is 'Mesoderm'.
