Solution
The correct option is A renal corpuscle
The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the afferent arteriole – a fine branch of renal artery. Blood from the glomerulus is carried away by an efferent arteriole. A cup-like structure called Bowman’s capsule encloses the glomerulus. The glomerulus along with the Bowman’s capsule is called the malpighian body or renal corpuscle. The renal corpuscle is the blood-filtering component of the nephron of the kidney.
