Solution

The correct option is C 180 L
Filtration, which takes place at the renal corpuscle, is the process by which cells and large proteins are filtered from the blood to make an ultrafiltrate that eventually becomes urine. The kidney generates 180 liters of filtrate a day while reabsorbing a large percentage, allowing for the generation of only approximately 2 liters of urine.
So, the correct answer is option C.
