Solution

(A) - Bowman's capsule is the site of ultrafiltration.

(B) - Collecting duct of the nephron is sensitive to ADH, large amount of water could be reabsorbed from this region to produce concentrated urine.
(C) - Proximal convoluted tubule, glucose, amino acids, fatty acids are completely reabsorbed by active transport in PCT.
(D) - Distal convoluted tubule, reabsorption of sodium, Bicarbonate takes place which adjusts blood PH.
