Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Normally albumin cannot pass out through the filtering pores due to their large size, but in some pathological conditions viz.
anoxia or heart failure, the filtration membrane becomes damaged and filtering pores enlarge in size, so that serum albumin passes out in the largest amount and appears in the urine.
