Solution

The correct option is A PCT
Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is lined with cuboidal epithelium with brush border. Almost all essential nutrients and 70-80 % of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed by PCT. The maximum number of mitochondria are present in PCT as the mitochondria support energy requirements of the sodium-potassium pump.
So, the correct answer is 'PCT'.
