Solution

The correct option is B glomerulus
The glomerulus is a network of capillaries known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances into Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule, of the nephron.
So, the correct option is 'glomerulus'.
