Urinary bladder
Step 1: Identifying the basic filtration unit. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering the blood and forming urine.
Step 2: Conclusion. Thus, the correct answer is option (A): Nephron.
In the adjoining figure, $\triangle CAB$ is a right triangle, right angled at A and $AD \perp BC$. Prove that $\triangle ADB \sim \triangle CDA$. Further, if $BC = 10$ cm and $CD = 2$ cm, find the length of AD. 
In the adjoining figure, TP and TQ are tangents drawn to a circle with centre O. If $\angle OPQ = 15^\circ$ and $\angle PTQ = \theta$, then find the value of $\sin 2\theta$.
