Correct Answer

Explanation

The proximal convoluted tubule is an important part of the nephron where most of the reabsorption of water and essential ions takes place. If it is removed, less water is reabsorbed from the tubular fluid, resulting in a higher volume of urine with lower concentration of solutes. As a result, urine becomes more diluted.
