Solution

The correct option is B Calyces

Renal pelvis is the enlarged upper end of the ureter, the tube through which urine flows from the kidney to the urinary bladder.
The large end of the pelvis has roughly cuplike extensions, called calyces, within the kidney—these are cavities in which urine collects before it flows on into the urinary bladder.
