Solution

The correct option is D I and IV
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is the amount of filtrate formed per minute by the glomerulus of the nephrons in the kidneys. In a healthy person, the GFR is about 125 ml/min which makes 180 liters per day.
In different segments of nephron, the tubular epithelial cells reabsorb substance either actively or passively. Substances like glucose, amino acids, Na+ in the filtrate are reabsorbed actively whereas the nitrogenous wastes are reabsorbed passively.
