Verified by Toppr

The cortex and medulla make up two of the internal layers of a kidney and are composed of individual filtering units known as nephrons. Renal medulla is the inner-most region of the kidney, arranged into pyramid-like structures, that consists of the bulk of nephron structure. The renal column of Bertini is a medullary extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids. The point of each pyramid, called the papilla, projects into a calyx.
So the correct option is 'None of these'.
