D) excretion.
E) secretion.

Accepted Answer

The process that transports solutes, including many drugs, into the tubular fluid is called secretion. This occurs when certain molecules, such as drugs or certain ions, are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate in the renal tubules. This allows the body to eliminate these substances from the blood and excrete them in the urine.
