Answer:

d) Ureter- Bladder- Urethra

Explanation:

The renal pelvis is located just outside the renal parenchyma, it is the place where the  renal calices meet to form the ureter, a long a tubular structure that extends to reach the bladder, where urine is collected and stored to be finally excreted through the urethra, a single tubular structure that connects the bladder with the exterior.

The Loop of Henle- Proximal convoluted tubule and Distal convoluted tubule are structures located inside the renal parenchyma, at the  medullary and cortical portion of the kidney, way up the renal pelvis.
