Given below are statements:
Statement I: In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes.
Statement II: The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are True

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A):  Ascending limb of the loop of Henle is impermeable to water and allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. 
Reason (R):  Dilution of filtrate takes place due to efflux of electrolytes in the medullary fluid

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.  (A) is True, (R) is False
2.  (A) is False, (R) is True
3.  Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
4.  Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
