Solution

The correct option is C Proximal convoluted tubule
Reabsorption of useful substances from glomerular filtrate occurs in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). PCT is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption. Nearly all of the essential nutrients, and 70-80 per cent of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed by this segment.
