Solution

The correct option is A Malpigian body
The Juxta medullary nephron is one in which the renal corpuscle (Malphigian corpuscle having the Malphigian body) is located in the cortex but near to the medulla and the other regions, such as the proximal convulated tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convulated tubule are located deeper in the medulla. The only region present in the cortex is malphigian body. So, the correct answer is A.
