Final answer:

The correct order of the structures of a mammalian nephron is Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting ducts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of the structures of a mammalian nephron from blood to ureter is:

  1. Bowman's capsule
  2. Proximal convoluted tubule
  3. Loop of Henle
  4. Distal convoluted tubule
  5. Collecting ducts

This means that option c, 'Bowman's capsule; proximal convoluted tubule; loop of Henle; distal convoluted tubule,' is the correct sequence.
