Solution

The correct option is C Proximal convoluted tubule
The glomerular filtrate when passes through the convoluted tubules, the useful components present in the filtrate is reabsorbed by tubular reabsorption. It occurs via three mechanisms they are osmosis, diffusion, and active transport. Most of the volume of the filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). This includes some water and most/all of the glucose (except in the case of diabetics).
So, the correct answer is option C.
