A Correct answer
Explanation

Bowman's capsule is the cup-shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus. It is part of the uriniferous tubule (nephron) and is the site where blood filtration occurs - plasma filters from glomerular capillaries into Bowman's space. Options C and D incorrectly associate it with liver. Option B is incorrect because reabsorption of water and glucose occurs primarily in proximal convoluted tubule, not Bowman's capsule.
