Answer»

Correct choice is (c) By both active and passive TRANSPORT

The best explanation: The ascending limb of Henle’s loop is impermeable to water but allows the transport of electrolytes actively or passively. Moreover, the width of this TUBULE ALSO varies as it has a thin segment and a thick segment of the ascending limb.
