B)a lower concentration of wastes.
C)a higher concentration of wastes.

Glomerular filtrate is essentially plasma that has been filtered by the glomerulus in the kidneys, removing cells and large proteins but retaining small molecules, including wastes. Thus, the concentration of wastes in glomerular filtrate should be similar to that in plasma.
