Solution

The correct option is C Cortex
Malpighian corpuscles are seen in the cortex of the kidney. They are 0.2 mm in diameter, with each capsule composed of two parts: a central glomerulus and a glomerular capsule. The corpuscles are part of a filtering system through which non-protein components of blood plasma enter the tubules for urinary excretion.
