Solution

The correct option is C Proximal convoluted tubule
The tubular portion of the nephron consists of the proximal tubule, the loop of Henle and the distal tubule. Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal tubule of the nephron, a tube leading out of Bowman's capsule. The cells that line the proximal tubule recapture valuable molecules, including glucose.
So, the correct option is 'Proximal convoluted tubule'.
