Solution

The correct option is D Albumin
Blood cells and plasma proteins are not filtered through the glomerular capillaries because they are relatively larger in size. The glomerular filtrate contains all the materials present in the blood except blood cells and most proteins, which are too large to cross the basement membrane of the glomerulus. Hence albumin (protein) is not present in the glomerular filtrate.
So, the correct answer is option D.
