Solution

The correct option is C Cortex.
The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla. The cortex contains the glomeruli and Bowman's capsules where filtration occurs. The renal artery enters the Bowman's capsule in the form of a tuft of capillaries known as a glomerulus. So, the correct answer is option C.
