Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $Proximal 	ext{ } Convoluted 	ext{ } Tubule$ $(PCT)$ is the primary site for the reabsorption of essential substances from the glomerular filtrate.Approximately $70-80\%$ of electrolytes and water, along with all glucose and amino acids, are reabsorbed in the $PCT$.This high rate of reabsorption is facilitated by the presence of a brush border of microvilli, which significantly increases the surface area for absorption.Therefore, the correct option is $D$.
