The figure shows a diagrammatic representation of a nephron and vasa recta showing counter current mechanisms. Identify the correct statements:
  
I: A is NaCl which is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop, exchanged with the ascending limb of vasa recta and returned to the interstitium by the descending portion of vasa recta.
II: B is urea which enters the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop and is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule.
III: C is water.
