Correct Answer

Explanation

The calyces are cup-like structures in the kidney that serve as the first structures to collect urine. The urine that is formed in the kidney is collected by the calyces and then passes into the renal pelvis, which is a funnel-shaped structure that is located at the center of the kidney. The renal pelvis then passes the urine into the ureter, which is a muscular tube that connects the kidney to the urinary bladder. From the bladder, the urine is eventually expelled through the urethra. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Calyx.
