A	DCT
B	PCT
C	Thick ascending LOH
D	Thin descending LOH

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The distal convoluted tubule also contains intercalated (I) cells, responsible for the secretion of acid. The collecting ducts are composed of I cells and also principal (P) cells, which become permeable to water under the influence of vasopressin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is composed of simple cuboidal epithelium. The DCT is located in the cortex and corticomedullary junction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Principal Cells are involved in water and sodium resorption but secrete potassium whereas Intercalated Cells are involved in potassium resorption and hydrogen secretion.
