The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the amount of filtrate formed by the kidneys per minute, which is a measure known as the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). 2. **Definition of GFR**: GFR is the rate at which blood is filtered in the kidneys, and it is an important indicator of kidney function. 3. **Normal GFR Value**: For a healthy individual, the normal GFR is approximately 125 ml per minute. This means that the kidneys filter about 125 milliliters of blood every minute. 4. **Options Analysis**: The options given are: - A) 125 ml per minute - B) 180 ml per minute - C) 1100 to 1200 ml per minute - D) 1500 ml per minute 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: Based on the knowledge that the normal GFR is approximately 125 ml per minute, we can conclude that the correct answer is option A. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the amount of filtrate formed by the kidneys per minute is approximately 125 ml. **Final Answer**: Option A) 125 ml per minute. ---
