Bulk flow of water and solutes forced from the glomerulus into the glomerular or Bowman's capsule because of high pressure is known as the process of filtration.
The high hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries develope because of the difference in the diameter of the afferent and efferent arteriole.
The afferent arteriole is larger in diameter which enters into the glomerulus and efferent arteriole is smaller in diameter which leaves the glomerulus.
Hence, pressure develops into the glomerular capillaries is resulting into filtration of the substance.
Diffusion is the transport of the substances along with the concentration gradient .
Active transport is the movement of the substances against the chemical or electrical gradient. It requires energy .
Osmosis is the process in which movement of substance occurs from area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
Hence, the answer for given question is filtration.
