The order that filtrate must pass through to the glomerular capsule is capillary fenestrae, glomerular basement membrane, and podocytes of visceral glomerular epithelium. This is because the fenestrations within the capillary walls allow for the passage of fluid and solutes, the glomerular basement membrane acts as a physical barrier preventing the passage of larger molecules, and the podocytes form filtration slits that provide an additional barrier and regulate the passage of smaller molecules. Therefore, choice B is the correct order.
