Diffusion

Ultrafiltration

Osmosis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerular capillary loops and participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries. Bowman’s capsule also has a structural function and creates a urinary space through which filtrate can enter the nephron and pass to the proximal convoluted tubule .
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of ultrafiltration occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys. The process can be described as follows: Blood flows through the glomerulus that is surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. The hydrostatic pressure forces the small molecules to leave the glomerulus and enter in the Bowman’s capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Filtration of blood’.
