A-iii, B-v, C-iv, D-ii, E-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Proximal convoluted tubule is responsible for reabsorption of 70-80% of electrolytes. Distal convoluted tubule maintains ionic balance. Henle's loop forms concentrated urine. Counter-current mechanism maintains the concentration gradient in the medulla. Renal corpuscle is involved in the filtration of blood.
