Answer:

D. Peritoneum, renal fascia, adipose capsule, and renal capsule.

Explanation:

If we approach the kidney from abdominal cavity, we will have to go the stuctures in the following order:

1- Peritoneum

2- Renal fascia

3- Adipose capsule

4- Renal capsule

Kidney is a retroperitoneal organ i.e. it is covered by peritoneum on its anterior surface only.

After traversing the peritoneum found only on the anterior surface of kidney, we come across renal fascia or Gerota's fascia. It a fibrous sheath that encloses the kidney and adrenal gland. Traversing it, we come across adipose capsule ( also known as perirenal fat or perinephric fat) which surrounds the kidney and vessels. Traversing adipose capsule, renal capsule is found. It a tough membranous layer and covers external surface of kidney. It surrounds the functional tissue of kidney and provides protection from trauma and injury.
