B) Glomerular capsule, peritubular capillaries, nephron loop, distal tubule, collecting duct
C) Glomerular capsule, proximal tubule, nephron loop, distal tubule, collecting duct
D) Proximal tubule, nephron loop, glomerular capsule, distal tubule, collecting duct
E) Collecting duct, distal tubule, nephron loop, proximal tubule, glomerular capsule

The correct sequence for the flow of filtrate through the nephron starts at the glomerular capsule, then moves to the proximal tubule, nephron loop (Loop of Henle), distal tubule, and finally to the collecting duct. This path reflects the process of filtration, absorption, and secretion that occurs in the kidney to form urine.
