Solution

The correct option is B False
Distal convoluted tubules open in the collecting tubules and various collecting tubules in turn open in the collecting duct where the glomerular filtrate is ultimately drained out. While vasa recta are the capillaries which run parallel to loop of Henle and have no role in connecting the two segments of the nephron.
So, the correct option is 'False'.
