Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Vasa recta and Henle's loop play a significant role in maintaining high osmolarity of medullary interstitial fluid |
| Reason (R): | Osmolarity increases from 300 mOsmolL-1 to 1200 mOsmolL-1 as we move from cortex to medullary region |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
