Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The tube leading from each kidney to the bladder is called the ureter. The glomerulus is a small network of capillaries in the kidney where filtration takes place, while the bladder and urethra are the organs responsible for storing and eliminating urine. The rectum is part of the digestive system and not related to the urinary system.
