Solution

The correct option is C tubular secretion
Tubular secretion is the transfer of materials from peritubular capillaries to the renal tubular lumen and occurs mainly by active transport. It is the tubular secretion of ^{$H^{+}$}and ${NH}_{4}_{4}^{+}$ from the blood into the tubular fluid that helps to keep blood pH at its normal level.
