Solution

The correct option is B Bowman's capsule
The blood with the waste products will enter the filtering unit of nephron in the kidney. The nephron has a cup-like sac called Bowman's capsule, which contains the glomerulus inside it. The glomerulus, a network of blood capillaries, is responsible for the ultrafiltration of blood within Bowman's capsule.
