Solution

The correct option is C Bowman’s Capsule
A nephron has two structural components namely, Malpighian capsule and Uriniferous tubules. Malpighian capsule consists of a network of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a double-walled cup called Bowman’s Capsule. The uriniferous tubule is divided into three parts the initial coiled proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), the middle U-shaped Henle’s loop and the later coiled distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
