Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is polypeptides.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
