Hey guys. In which of the following nephron parts is the greatest decrease in sodium resorption most likely.

What on earth does this mean? Are they asking us in which nephron part do we have the greatest resorption of sodium? Or are they asking us in which part of the nephron is sodium resorbed the least?

It's a fancy way of asking which part is impermeable to solute (NaCl) that would be the descending limb of the loop. ;)
