A) proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, nephron loop (loop of Henle)
B) distal convoluted tubule, nephron loop (loop of Henle), proximal convoluted tubule
C) nephron loop (loop of Henle), proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule
D) proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop (loop of Henle), distal convoluted tubule
E) distal convoluted tubule, proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop (loop of Henle)

The correct order of the renal tubule regions starting from the glomerular (Bowman's) capsule is proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop (loop of Henle), and distal convoluted tubule. This is because the filtrate first enters the proximal convoluted tubule, followed by the descending and ascending limbs of the nephron loop, and finally the distal convoluted tubule before emptying into the collecting duct.
