Answer: Option B

The concentration of protein in the postglomerular blood is high comparef with arterial blood because as water passes into the capsule, the concentration of protein in the blood will increase.

Explanation:

Kidneys are bean shaped organs present in veterbrates and it is located in the retroperitoneal space. Kidney filtration involves where blood passes through the afferent arterioles and enters the glomerulus where blood that can be filter like nitrogenous waste and water moves towards the glomerulus and nonfilterable substances such as cells and serum albumins pass out through efferent arterioles. Thee concentration of protein increases from arterial to the post glomerular because some of the water molecules diffuses to the filtrate therefore, reducing water concentration. This lead to increase in concentration of protein because water is not available to diffuse the protein.
