Solution

The correct option is C glomerulus

The unfiltered blood containing nitrogenous wastes and excess water enters a nephron through the renal artery.
This blood is then filtered in the cluster of blood capillaries present in the nephron. This cluster of blood capillaries is known as glomerulus.
The filtered blood without the waste materials is carried back to the other parts of the body through the renal vein.
