Solution

The correct option is A PCT
The maximum amount of electrolytes and 70 - 80% water from, glomerular filtrate and is reabsorbed in PCT because proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is lined with cuboidal epithelium with brush border. It increases the surface area for reabsorption.
So, the correct answer is 'PCT'.
