The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the basic filtration unit present in the kidneys. We need to identify the correct structure responsible for filtration. 2. **Reviewing the Options**: - **Option 1: Neuron**: Neurons are part of the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting signals. They do not play a role in kidney filtration. - **Option 2: Bowman's Capsule**: Bowman's Capsule is indeed part of the nephron, which is involved in the filtration process. However, it is not the entire filtration unit. - **Option 3: Nephron**: The nephron is the functional and structural unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine. It includes Bowman's Capsule, but it is the complete unit. - **Option 4: DCT (Distal Convoluted Tubule)**: The DCT is part of the nephron but is not the basic filtration unit itself. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Since the nephron is the basic filtration unit of the kidneys, the correct answer is **Option 3: Nephron**. 4. **Conclusion**: The basic filtration unit present in the kidneys is the nephron. ---
