Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The ascending limb of loop of Henle is also called the diluting segment of the nephron.
 
Reason (R): In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water and the cells of the loop actively reabsorb solutes from the luminal fluid.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
