Figure shows human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristic and/or functions. [Figure]

1. A - Adrenal gland - located at the anterior part of kidney. Secrete catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown.
2. C - Medulla - inner zone of kidney and contains complete nephrons.
3. B - Pelvis - broad funnel shaped space inner to hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle.
4. D - Cortex - outer part of kidney and do not contain any part of nephrons.

Select the option which shows correct matching of animal with its excretory organ and excretory product.
