Answer:
Reabsorption in the loop of Henle: The filtrate then enters the loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), which is responsible for concentrating or diluting the tubular fluid using a process called countercurrent multiplication.
Explanation:
A IS THE CORRECT OPTION

The section of the nephron which is responsible for concentrating the solute in the filtrate is option (a) P
Explanation:
- Nephron in the Henle Loop, The filtered then enters the Henle Loop (descending and ascending limbs), which utilizes a process called countercurrent multiplication to concentrating the solute in the tubular fluid.
- The proximal convoluted tubule is the initial portion of the nephron that is responsible for water reabsorption.
- Bowman's capsule sends filtered fluid towards the proximal tubule, Urea, water, potassium, sodium, chloride, glucose, amino acids, lactate, phosphate, and bicarbonate are all reabsorbed in the PCT.
- While water is also reabsorbed, the volume of fluid in the Henle loop is about one-third of the original volume, similar to the PCT.
