Solution

The correct option is B Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
In humans, a major amount of water is reabsorbed by the tubular part of the nephron. The reabsorption of water depends on the amount of excess water present in the body as well as the amount of dissolved waste there is to be excreted. So, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
