Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Kidneys help in the formation of urine, from the blood flowing through glomerular capillaries. About 20% of plasma fluid filters out into the Bowman’s capsule through a thin glomerular-capsular membrane due a net or effective filtration of about 10 to 15 mm Hg. So, the nearest option is (a).
