Solution

The correct option is D (i)-A, (ii)-E, (iii)-C, (iv)-D
Malpighian corpuscle(A) is the site of ultrafitration. A considerable amount of water is reabsorbed in the collecting duct(E) under the influence of ADH. Proximal convoluted tubule (C) is the main site for the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids. In distal convoluted tubule(D), both hydrogen ions and ammonium ions are secreted, thus it maintains blood pH.
