Malpighian body is also called kidney corpuscle. Malpighian body is the structure at the beginning of a vertebrate nephron, consisting of a glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule. It mainly involved in filteration of blood. Thus, option B is correct.

Malpighian tubules are excretory organs of insects like cockroach, grasshopper etc. These are blind ending excretory tubes which open into the alimentary canal near the junction of the midgut and hind gut. These tubules remove nitrogenous wastes from the haemolymph and also function in osmoregulation.

Nephrons are the cells of kidney which are composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.  The renal corpuscle is also known Malpighian body. It consists of cup like double walled structure known as Bowman’s capsule and the bunch of capillaries present in the Bowman’s capsule is known as glomerulus. It helps in filtration of blood at high pressure. So, the correct answer is 'Kidney'.

Malpighian tubules are excretory organs present in the cockroach. They lie freely in haemolymph. They remove excretory products from the haemolymph and open in the alimentary canal at the junction of the midgut and hindgut. In each cockroach, they are about 150 in number. The Malpighian tubule system is named after 17th-century anatomist Marcello Malpighi. He was born in Italy,

A) Henle's loop is present between DCT and PCT.

The Juxta medullary nephron is one in which the renal corpuscle (Malphigian corpuscle having the Malphigian body) is located in the cortex but near to the medulla and the other regions, such as the proximal convulated tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convulated tubule are located deeper in the medulla. The only region present in the cortex is malphigian body. So, the correct answer is A.
