Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in the reabsorption of water, sodium ions, chloride ions, and sugar from the glomerular filtrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The walls of the thick ascending limb are impermeable to water, so in this section of the nephron water is not reabsorbed along with sodium.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Proximal convoluted tubule’.
