Solution

The correct option is A
Filtration membrane and negative charge

Filtration membrane (filter), is composed of three layers:

1.Fenestrated capillary epithelium: capillary pores prevent passage of blood cells

2.Visceral membrane made of podocytes (branching epithelium); basement membrane restricts all but the smallest proteins

3. Intervening basement membrane; podocyte pedicles (filtration slits) provide no restriction to passage of molecules
