C Correct answer
Explanation

The component of glomerular filtrate not reabsorbed in the tubular part of nephron is urea. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed to minimize the loss from the body. Also, much water is reabsorbed in the tubular part of the nephron so as to produce concentrated urine. Urea, being the chief excretory product, is not reabsorbed and is excreted out of the body.
