What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above normal?
A) Net filtration would decrease.
B) Capsular osmotic pressure would compensate so that filtration would not change.
C) Filtration would increase in proportion to the increase in capsular pressure.
D) Net filtration would increase above normal.
