Answer: Option B. "False"

Explanation:

Nephron can be defined as the functional unit of the kidney.

Descending limb and ascending limb are the combinly called loop of nephron or henle and are the part of renal tubule in the nephron.

Descending limbs and  ascending limbs have different permeabilities to water and salt that causes high osmolarity in the Medulla.

Hence, the correct option is B.
