Solution

The correct option is B
Bowman's capsule

The Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus together are called the renal corpuscle. Bowman's capsule is a thin-walled cup. Its hollow internal space continues into the tubule and the outer cavity of the cup lodges a knot-like mass of blood capillaries called glomerulus. Renal corpuscle helps in filteration of blood.
