In the visceral layer of Bowman's capsule, podocyte secondary processes (pedicels) interdigitate around glomerular capillaries, leaving narrow intercellular clefts called filtration slits (slit pores) of about 25–30 nm width, which are bridged by a thin slit diaphragm.

The macula densa is a specialized plaque of tall, closely packed epithelial cells located in the wall of the distal straight tubule (thick ascending limb of Henle's loop) directly where it contacts the vascular pole of its parent renal corpuscle between the afferent and efferent arterioles. Thus, statements (A) and (B) are correct.

The glandular secretory epithelium lining the extensively folded mucosal secretomotor tubules and alveoli of the vesicular gland (seminal vesicle) in domestic animals is predominantly pseudostratified columnar epithelium, with principal tall columnar cells and rounded basal cells.
