The correct options are
A Glomerules
C Bowman's capsule
D Collecting duct
Nephrons are the unit of the excretory system and are used in the process of filtration and excretion. It is divided into:
  • The renal or malphigian corpuscle - It consists of Bowman's capsule and glomerulus by which blood enters and proceeds for filtration.
  • The renal tubule - They consist of Proximal and distal convoluted tubule (PCT and DCT) and loop of Henle.
Collecting ducts are sometimes not included in the parts of nephron due to its different origin than other parts of the nephron.
So, the correct option is 'Glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, and Collecting duct'.
