Answer:

180 litres

Explanation:

The total volume of blood passing through the kidneys is about 1200 mL per minute or about one-fourth of the entire cardiac output. As plasma passes through the  glomerulus, it loses more than 10% of its volume to the glomerular filtrate. The normal glomerular filtration rate amounts to about 180 liters (about 45 gallons) each 24 hours. This is 4.5 times the amount of fluid in the entire body. So, the correct answer is option D.
