Solution

The correct option is B Efferent arteriole
The efferent arterioles are the arterioles that take blood away from the glomerulus. The efferent arterioles give rise to peritubular capillaries. peritubular capillaries are tiny blood vessels, that travel alongside nephrons allowing reabsorption and secretion between blood and the inner lumen of the nephron.
So, the correct answer is 'Efferent arteriole'.
