Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The renal blood flow is approximately 1,100 mL per minute, and out of this, 20% (220 mL/min) is filtered by the glomerulus to form the glomerular filtrate. This is then selectively reabsorbed by the tubules to form urine. Therefore, approximately 1000-1200 mL of blood pass through the kidney per minute.
