Solution
The correct option is D 60
Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day. Thus, the entire plasma volume (about 3 liters) is filtered 60 times a day. Filtration is primarily driven by hydraulic pressure (blood pressure) in the capillaries of the glomerulus.
