Vasa recta is absent or reduced in:
- APCT
- BBowman's capsule
- CCortical nephrons

Answer
(c) Cortical nephrons
Explanation: The efferent arteriole emerging from the glomerulus forms a fine capillary network around the renal tubule called the peritubular capillaries. A minute vessel of this network runs parallel to Henle's loop forming a 'U' shaped vasa recta. Vasa recta are absent or highly reduced in cortical nephrons.
