Solution

The correct option is C Loop of Henle
The efferent arteriole emerging from the glomerulus forms a fine capillary network around the renal tubule called the peritubular capillaries. A minute vessel of this network runs parallel to the Henle’s loop and forms a U shaped vasa recta. So, vasa recta are tubular capillaries around loop of Henle.
