The correct answer is

C) Proximal convoluted tubule

Step-by-step explanation:

Blood from capillaries is drained back into the renal vein at the Hilum. As we know that the functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which consists of a glomerulus from which a proximal convoluted tubule leads to a thin loop of Henle and then to a distal convoluted tubule, so depending on the structure we can see that the nearest part to glomerulus is proximal convoluted tubule.
