Answer #1

None of the options were correct

Please recheck if any of the options have typing error. I ll explain each option why it is not correct.

Dilation of the efferent arteriole and constriction of the afferent arteriole would decrease the intraglamerular pressure and will decrease the GFR ( opposite effect will cause increase in GFR)

Decreased renin will decrease the GFR (renin causes increased production of angiotensin II and this will increase the GFR).

According to starling forces which act at the level of glomerulus , increase in glomerular osmotic pressure and decrease in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will decrease the GFR (opposite effect will cause increase in the GFR)

Hope this helps... Thank you!!!
