• Glomerulus is a network of capillaries inside the Bowman's capsule, where fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood to form a glomerular filtrate. So, option A is correct.
• Both the Bowman’s capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) lie in the cortex region giving it a dotted appearance. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
• The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) lies towards the end of the cortex and opens into the collecting duct. So, option C is correct.
• The loop of Henle and the collecting ducts lie in the medullary region, giving it a striped appearance. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
