Claudia Alvarado · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : F, Explanation :  The term threshold refers to the limit or level at which a certain effect begins to be produced. In the context of sugar reabsorption, it describes the maximum capacity of the kidneys to reabsorb glucose from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. Beyond this threshold, excess glucose is excreted in the urine.
