Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) more diluted urine

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

About \(65\%\) of the glomerular filtrate is normally reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubule before reaching the loop of Henle. It absorbs glucose, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, \(Na, K, Cl\), phosphates, bicarbonates, water and urea etc. If it is removed, then more concentrated urine with high osmolarity will be produced.
