• A. Urinary bladder
• B. Glomerulus
• C. Bowman's capsule
• D. Nephron

Each kidney contains about a million nephrons that help in urine formation and waste removal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is responsible for the filtration of blood, reabsorption of essential substances, and excretion of waste in the form of urine. Thus, the correct answer is \( \mathbf{(D) \text{Nephron}} \).
