Solution

The correct option is B
Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis.

The renal pelvis or pelvis of the kidney is the basin-like or funnel-like dilated proximal part of the ureter in the kidney. In humans, the renal pelvis is the point of convergence of two or three major calyces. Each renal papilla is surrounded by a branch of the renal pelvis called a calyx.
