Solution

The correct option is D Glomerulus
Glomerulus is the region where the afferent vessel enters the bowman’s capsule and splits into minor capillaries. Through the tiny pores present in glomerulus ultrafiltration happens when blood flows through the capillaries. The necessary substances like water, glucose and salts are filtered out by this process.
