Solution

The correct option is A Plasma proteins
Blood that passes through the glomerulus undergoes ultra filtration due to which all the components of blood, except plasma protein, pass into the Bowman's capsule. Plasma proteins have a higher molecular weight and is thus inhibited by the basement membrane of the glomerular capillaries from being filtered out. Hence, plasma protein is the least likely to be found in the glomerular filtrate.
