Figure shows a human urinary system with structures labelled A to D. Select option which correctly identifies them and gives their characteristics and/or functions. 
    

1. B-pelvis - broad funnel-shaped space inner to the hilum, directly connected to loops of Henle.
2. C- Medulla- inner zone of kidney and contains complex nephrons.
3. D- Cortex- outer part of the kidney and does not contain any part of nephrons.
4. A- Adrenal gland- located at the anterior part of the kidney; secretes catecholamines which stimulate glycogen breakdown.

As the filtrate passes upward in the ascending limb of loop of Henle:
1. it gets diluted due to the reabsorption of water from medullary interstitium
2. it gets diluted due to the passage of electrolytes to medullary interstitium
3. it gets concentrated due to the reabsorption of electrolytes from medullary interstitium
4. it gets concentrated due to the passage of water to medullary interstitium
