Solution

The correct option is B Osmosis
Within the loop of henle, the descending limb allows for the reabsorption of water through osmosis whereas the ascending limb allows for the passive and active transport of salts such as sodium to move out of the tubules and be reabsorbed.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
