Solution

The correct option is A ascending and descending limb
Henle’s loop is a u-shaped tubule and is a part of nephron that helps to absorb the water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. It has a descending and an ascending limb.
Collecting duct is the last part of a long, twisting tube that collects urine from the nephron and moves it into the ureters.
