Solution

The correct option is A Glomerulus
Glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries formed by the afferent arteriole. Here the glomerular hydrosatic blood pressure is high and hence maximum filtration occurs. This type of filtration is called ultrafiltration.
Ultrafiltration doesnt occur at proximal and distal convoluted tubules.
