What is a ureter?

Explanation:
The ureter is a muscular tube that carries urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. There are two ureters, one from each kidney, and they transport urine downward through rhythmic smooth-muscle contractions until it reaches the bladder for storage. This helps explain why the option describes two tubes linking kidneys to the bladder. It’s not the tube from the bladder to the outside (that’s the urethra), not the womb (uterus), and not a general internal organ (viscera).
