Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Urine drains from the nephron into the calyces through the collecting duct. After filtration and reabsorption processes occur in different parts of the nephron, the remaining fluid (now urine) enters the collecting ducts, which lead to the renal calyces and then to the renal pelvis, eventually being funneled into the ureters.
