Solution

The correct option is B Proximal convoluted tubule
The glomerular filtrate is passed on from the Bowman's capsule to the proximal convoluted tubule. The proximal convoluted tubule is the major site for tubular reabsorption ( almost 80% of the filtrate volume) of water (obligatory water resorption), nutrients, electrolytes, small proteins e.g. albumin etc.
So, the correct answer is option A.
