Solution

The correct option is C Nitrogenous wastes
The epithelial cells in the renal tubules in the different segments of the nephron perfom reabsorption either by active or passive transport. Substances like glucose, amino acids and sodium ions, etc. are transported actively while the nitrogenous wastes are absorbed passively.
