the LONGEST zone seen will be the fasciculata according to Netter's Physio. This is evident by choice C). That means that:

A) must be the capsule
B) Zona Glomerulosa (aldosterone) think salty...
C) Zona Fasciculata (glucocorticoids) think sweet...
D) Zona Reticularis (androgens) think sex....
E) Medulla

Remember the mnemonic guys... "the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets"... salt, sweet, sex.... and it's GFR.

PEACE!!
