Options:

The correct answer is: The ascending limb of the Henle's loop extends as the DCT
The ascending limb of Henle's loop (the next part of renal tubule) continues as another highly coiled tubular region called Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT).

The juxtamedullary nephrons have long Henle's loop.

Vasa recta are absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons.

Bowman's capsule encloses the glomerulus.

The Malpighian corpuscles, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) are situated in the cortical region of the kidney, whereas the Henle's loop in the medulla.
