Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is glomerular filtration? Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that your kidneys use to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so they may be eliminated from your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Active transport across the walls of proximal convoluted part’.
