Solution

The correct option is C

Peritubular capillaries


Renal tubule is the long tubule which connects the Bowman's capsule and the collecting duct in the kidneys. This tubule is surrounded by the blood capillaries known as peritubular capillaries. This capillary performs the function of selective reabsorption of elements from the tubule.
