C
nephrons
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.

Detailed explanation-2: -This membrane acts like a sieve allowing small substances to be filtered into the nephron, whilst large molecules such as plasma proteins remain within the blood. The filtered fluid is called ultrafiltrate and passes from the Bowman’s Capsule into the proximal convoluted tubule.
