    C. active transport of electrolytes out of the ascending limb

    Explanation:

    Henle's loop, in anatomy, is a part of the kidney; It is the segment of the nephron that comes just after the proximal contorted tubule, being a U-shaped tubular structure where each end corresponds to one limb, with one thick and one thin portion. In the long handles, the curvature is always in the thin part and in the short handles, the curvature occurs in the thick part. Whenever an active electrolyte transport occurs outside the Henle loop members, the countercurrent arrangement of the two Henle loop members becomes a multiplier of the electrolyte concentration.
