Solution

The correct option is D Cortex
Inside the kidney, there are two zones, an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The body of the nephron is divided into renal corpuscle (Glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule), PCT, Henle's loop and DCT. The renal corpuscle, PCT and DCT are confined to Cortex and Henle's loop is confined to medulla. Hence Malphigian/Bowmans/renal corpuscles occur in cortex.
So, the correct answer is 'Cortex'.
