Detailed explanation-1: -Correct answer: The correct path of filtrate through a nephron starts in the renal corpuscle, which is comprised of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. Filtrate then passes through the proximal convoluted tubule, where the majority of reabsorption takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -The loop of Henle is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb. It transfers fluid from the proximal to the distal tubule.
