Solution

The high pressure in the glomerulus that pushes water and solutes out of the blood into the Bowman's capsule is caused by the fact that the efferent arteriole is narrower than the afferent arteriole. So, the correct answer is c. The efferent arteriole is narrower than the afferent arteriole.
