In the ascending limb of the nephron loop, sodium and chloride are actively reabsorbed from the tubule fluid, which results in a decrease in the concentration of solutes in the tubule fluid, making it more dilute (hypotonic). This process is not influenced by antidiuretic hormone. Therefore, both option A and B are correct.
