Solution

The correct option is D Is reabsorbed into the blood.
About 80% of the water is reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule. The rest is reabsorbed in the loop of Henle and collecting ducts by the influence of antidiuretic hormone. ADH increases the permeability of the walls of collecting duct. Thus only about 1% water is filtered as urine.
So, the correct answer is option D.
