Solution

The correct option is B Bowman's capsule
Podocytes are highly specialised, terminally differentiated cells that are located in the Bowman's capsule of the kidney. These cells have interdigitated foot processes, that are bridged by a membrane, called as the slit diaphragm and have a role in the selective permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier.
