Consider the given two statements:
Assertion: The ascending limb of loop of Henle is also called the diluting segment of the nephron.
 
Reason: In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water and the cells of the loop actively reabsorb solutes from the luminal fluid.
1. Assertion is true but Reason is false
2. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason correctly explains the Assertion
3. Assertion is false but Reason is true
4. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion
