Solution

The correct option is B
PCT

Glucose, water, inorganic phosphate, and some other solutes are resorbed via active transport in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule. Whereas the distal convoluted tubule, which is a duct of the renal tubule located in the kidney's cortex reabsorbs calcium, sodium, and chloride and regulates the pH of urine. The principal function of the loop of Henle appears to be the recovery of water and sodium chloride from the urine. Renal collecting tubule, concentrate and transport urine from the nephrons to larger ducts until it flows through the renal pelvis, ureters and reaches the urinary bladder.
