SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Excretory system

The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. Each kidney contains roughly one million nephrons, which filter blood, reabsorb useful substances, and form urine through filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.

Since the kidneys (along with ureters, bladder, and urethra) constitute the excretory system, the nephron belongs to this system. It is not part of the circulatory, reproductive, or respiratory systems.
