The filter is used for filtering purposes. Even after filtering that the signal contains some distortion. So, regulators is used to make a DC output smooth.

You are right @Zeeshan Zamir.

Regulator for only regulated purposes. Filter doing the unwanted pulses from rectifier circuits.

Dc power supply with their basic parts.

Rectifier - converts sine wave input to pulsating DC output
Filter - smoothen the output of the waveform/reduce fluctuations
Regulator- provides constant/dc voltage and also maintains the output voltage at any load.
Load- recipient of the voltage

So, the answer is filter not a regulator.
