Solution

The correct option is B Malpighian corpuscle
Ultrafiltration occurs at the barrier between the blood and the filtrate in the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys. The Bowman's capsule contains a dense capillary network called the glomerulus. The afferent and efferent arterioles, glomeruli, and the Bowman's capsule together form the malpighian corpuscle.
So, the correct answer is 'Malpighian corpuscle'.
