Solution
The correct option is B Collecting duct
"Uriniferous tubule" or "nephron" are the structural and functional unit of kidney. It is present in the outer firm region of kidney, the renal cortex. It consist of renal corpuscle and a long renal tubule. Renal corpuscle comprises of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. Renal tubule comprises of proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule.
Whereas collecting duct is present in the inner region of the kidney, the renal medulla. It carries the urine from the nephron in the cortex to the pelvis in the kidney. It is not part of one nephron but it is formed with the distal of many nephrons.
