Correct answer is A
The urinary tubule, a part of the nephron in the kidney, is indeed responsible for the production of urine. It does this by reabsorbing useful substances from the filtrate, such as glucose and ions, and secreting waste products into it. The modified filtrate, now called urine, is then passed on to the bladder for storage and eventual excretion.
