Answer:

Net filtration would decrease.

Explanation:

Net filtration pressure may be defined as the pressure present at the glomerulus. The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure existing at the kidney.

The net filtration pressure is affected by the osmotic pressure as well. The osmotic pressure always opposed the filtration. This might result in the increase in osmotic pressure. This will ultimately decrease the net filtration pressure as both oppose each other.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
