Solution

The correct option is C Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles
Blood enters in glomerulus through afferent arterioles and the efferent arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus. Because it has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole, it creates some resistance to blood flow, producing the back-up of blood in the glomerulus which creates higher pressure in the glomerular cavity.
