(C) The $Proximal 	ext{ } Convoluted 	ext{ } Tubule$ $(PCT)$ is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption.Nearly all of the essential nutrients and $70-80\%$ of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed in this segment.Therefore, the correct answer is the $Proximal 	ext{ } Convoluted 	ext{ } Tubule$ $(PCT)$.
