Refer the given figure of nephron.

Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them
1. A- A tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
2. B-PCT-reabsorption of HCO3- and selective secretion of H+ and K+ occurs here.
3. C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na+, K+ and uric acid are absorbed here.
4. D-collecting duct-extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of medulla. Large amount of water is secreted in this region.

Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?
1. Henle’s loop – most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
2. Distal convoluted tubule – reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
3. Afferent arteriole – carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein
4. Podocytes - create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule
