  • A Proximal convoluted tubule ✔ ✖
  • B Bowman's capsule ✔ ✖
  • C Loop of Henle ✔ ✖
  • D Distal convoluted tubule ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The renal corpuscle, located in the kidney's cortex, is made up of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries that filters blood, while Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure surrounding the glomerulus that collects the filtrate. The filtrate then moves on to the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule for further processing before being excreted as urine. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Bowman's capsule.
