Solution

The correct option is A Proximal tubule
The proximal tubule is the portion of the duct system of the nephron of the kidney which leads from the Bowman's capsule to the loop of Henle. This is the site where the maximum absorption of glucose, amino acids, proteins, vitamins, etc takes place.
So, the correct answer is 'Proximal tubule'
