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

An increase in capsular hydrostatic pressure would oppose filtration pressure and reduce the net filtration pressure, leading to a decrease in the amount of filtrate produced. The capsular osmotic pressure would not be able to compensate for this increase in pressure.
