D Correct answer
Explanation

Diffusion is the tendency of molecules  to spread into an available space. This tendency is a result of the intrinsic thermal energy (heat) found in all molecules, at temperatures above absolute zero. Without other outside forces at work, substances will move/diffuse from a more concentrated environment to a less concentrated environment. The chloride ions from the glomerular filtrate are reabsorbed through diffusion.
