Solution

The correct option is A Afferent arteriole
Blood enters the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus through a small artery called the afferent arteriole. The artery that carries filtered blood away from the glomerulus is the efferent arteriole. These two arterioles together play a major role in the process of ultrafiltration by the glomerulus.
