Solution

The correct option is B Inner wall of Bowman's capsule
Podocytes are a type of cells in the Bowman's capsule of the nephrons in the kidneys that wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus. 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.
