Solution

The correct option is C Microvilli
The most distinctive characteristic of the proximal tubule is its brush border. The luminal surface of the epithelial cells of this segment of the nephron is covered with densely packed microvilli, giving the brush border like surface. The microvilli greatly increase the luminal surface area of the cells.
So, the correct answer is option A.
