The correct answer is: 20 mm Hg
Kidneys help in the formation of urine, from the blood flowing through glomerular capillaries. About $20 \%$ of plasma fluid filters out into the Bowman's capsule through a thin glomerular-capsular membrane due to a net or effective filtration of about 10 to 15 mm Hg .
So, the nearest option is (1).
