Solution
The correct option is D Glucose
Glucose is completely reabsorbed from the filtrate in the renal tubule under normal condition. Renal glucose reabsorption is the part of renal physiology that deals with the retrieval of filtered glucose, preventing it from disappearing from the body through the urine. If glucose is not reabsorbed by the kidney, it appears in the urine, in a condition known as glycosuria. This is associated with diabetes mellitus.
