C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This type of high pressure filtration is ultrafiltration. The fluid formed in this way is called glomerular filtrate. Molecules such as plasma proteins and blood cells do not pass through the filter because they are too big.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins: Proteins will be present in blood plasma, but not present in glomerular filtrate or urine. This is because proteins cannot pass across the basement membrane during ultrafiltration and thus cannot form part of the filtrate.
