Answer.

b). False.

Explanation.

Kidneys are responsible for urine formation that helps in removal of waste materials from the body. Urine formation involves three steps, filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.

During filtration, kidneys filter blood and collect water, glucose, amino acids, urea, and various slats and ions. Proteins and red blood cells are not filtered by the process of filtration. As glucose is important for body, it is reabsorbed by the body along with some other substances. Hence, red blood cells, proteins, and glucose are not secreted into the filtrate.

Thus, the given statement is 'false.'
