Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Inner wall of Bowman's capsule

Podocytes are a type of cells in the inner walls of Bowman's capsule of the nephrons in the kidneys. The long processes or foot projections of the podocytes wrap around the capillaries and leave slits between them. Blood is filtered through these slits, each known as a slit diaphragm or filtration slit.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
