D
plasma protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The fluid in the capsular space (Bowman’s space) is similar to plasma except for the presence of a significant amount of albumin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluids comprising excess water, salt and metabolic waste products are extracted from the blood as it enters the Bowman’s capsule in the nephrons. This fluid in the Bowman’s capsule is called glomerular filtrate. It is similar to blood plasma except that it has almost no protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of filtration of the blood in the Bowman’s capsule is ultrafiltration or glomerular filtration. Any proteins that are roughly 30 kilodaltons or under can pass freely through the membrane, but cells like platelets and large proteins do not. So, the correct answer is polypeptides.
