A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal corpuscle consists of several histological structures (FIG 1): Glomerulus capillaries form a central tuft of looped capillaries located in the center of the renal corpuscle. These capillaries deliver blood and create a large surface area for renal filtration. These capillaries are optimized for filtration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biologically, cell filtration occurs passively through the epithelial membrane, wherein cells flush the undesirable substance out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each nephron in your kidneys has a microscopic filter, called a glomerulus that is constantly filtering your blood. Blood that is about to be filtered enters a glomerulus, which is a tuft of blood capillaries (the smallest of blood vessels).
