Solution

The correct option is A
Afferent arteriole

The glomerulus is a tangled mass of blood capillaries enclosed by the cup-shaped end (Bowman's capsule) of a kidney tubule. Blood enters into glomerulus through afferent arteriole (a part of the renal artery) and leaves it through efferent arteriole.
