Solution

The correct option is B Branches of renal vein
The renal artery enters the Bowman's capsule and forms a tuft of capillaries which helps in ultrafiltration. The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, while the renal vein carries blood, with much lower concentrations of urea and mineral ions, away from the kidney.
So, the correct answer is option B.
