In secretion, solutes are secreted across the wall of the nephron into the filtrate.

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: C. In secretion, solutes are secreted across the wall of the nephron into the filtrate. C: In secretion, solutes are secreted across the wall of the nephron into the filtrate. A: Filtration is the movement of materials across the filtration membrane into Bowman’s capsule to form a filtrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secretion, which occurs in the proximal tubule section of the nephron, is responsible for the transport of certain molecules out of the blood and into the urine. Secreted substances include potassium ions, hydrogen ions, and some xenobiotics.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the same time, waste ions and hydrogen ions pass from the capillaries into the renal tubule. This process is called secretion. The secreted ions combine with the remaining filtrate and become urine. The urine flows out of the nephron tubule into a collecting duct.
