A person passes much urine and drinks much water but his blood glucose level is normal.

This condition may be the result of:

1. A reduction in insulin secretion from pancreas

2. A reduction in vasopressin secretion from posterior pituitary.

3. A fall in the glucose concentration in urine

4. An increase in secretion of glucagon

Refer the given figure of nephron.

Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them
1. A- A tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
2. B-PCT-reabsorption of HCO3- and selective secretion of H+ and K+ occurs here.
3. C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na+, K+ and uric acid are absorbed here.
4. D-collecting duct-extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of medulla. Large amount of water is secreted in this region.
