Solution
The correct option is C Tubular secretion
Tubular secretion is the secretion of H+, K+, NH3 by the PCT and DCT into the filterate during urine formation which helps in the maintenance of ionic & acid-base balance of body fluids.
Glomerular filteration is the process of filteration of blood by the glomerulus such that all the constituents of plasma except proteins pass to the Bowman's capsule.
Selective reabsorption is done by passive or active mechanisms by the DCT, PCT and collecting ducts to retain substances like glucose, amino acids, Na+, and other essential nutrients in the body.
