In humans, excretion of hypertonic urine is associated with the loop of Henle.

The loop of Henle is a part of the nephron in the kidney that plays a crucial role in producing concentrated urine. It creates a concentration gradient in the interstitial fluid around the nephron, which allows for the reabsorption of water and electrolytes from the filtrate in the collecting ducts. As the filtrate moves through the descending limb of the loop of Henle, it becomes more concentrated, and as it moves up the ascending limb, electrolytes such as Na+ and Cl- are actively transported out of the filtrate, resulting in a more dilute fluid.

Correct option is D)
The concentration of the urine in the nephron is variable depending on the permeability of the tubules in it that is the the urine is initially isotonic in PCT which becomes hypertonic at Henles loop an tend to become hypotonic before entering collection tubule .After which the urine becomes extremely hypertonic due to least permeability of the DCT and collecting tubule by water.
Hence the correct answer is D.
