Solution

The correct option is D Urea, uric acid, glucose and water
Kidney filter our blood to excrete the nitrogenous waste products from the body. For this purpose, the kidney has an organ called glomerulus, which is associated with Bowman's capsule. A glomerulus is a network of capillaries, which is supplied by afferent arterioles and drained by the efferent arterioles. Glomerulus filtrate contains the water in large quantity as well as also contains some important molecules like glucose, urea, amino acids, uric acid. Some essential molecules, which are not meant for excretion are reabsorbed through selective reabsorption.
So, the correct option is ' Urea, uric acid, glucose and water '
