Solution
The correct option is B
glomerular filtration
The increased blood volume with its higher blood pressure will go into the afferent arteriole and into the glomerulus, resulting in increased GFR. Increased Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure will decrease GFR, while decreased Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure will increase GFR.
