Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The renal column is not a structure that enters or exits the kidney at the hilum. It is a term used to describe the area of cortical tissue between the renal pyramids. The remaining structures (renal artery, renal vein, and ureter) do enter or exit the kidney at the hilum.
