The correct option is C hilum
Towards the centre of the inner concave surface of the kidney is a notch or a point of entry called hilum through which ureter, blood vessels and nerves enter.
Inner to the hilum is a broad funnel shaped space called the renal pelvis with projections called calyces.
Kidney is divided into two zones, an inner medulla and an outer cortex. The medulla is divided into a few conical masses (medullary pyramids) projecting into the calyces.
Glomerulus is one of the key structures that make up the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney.
