Solution

The correct option is B False
Blood enters the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus through a small artery called the afferent arteriole. The artery that carries filtered blood away from the glomerulus is the efferent arteriole. These two arterioles together play a major role in the process of ultrafiltration by the glomerulus.
Hence, this statement is false the correct statement is the blood vessel leading into Bowman's capsule is called afferent arteriole.
