D?
I just guess because Sodium transport in ascending loop needs ATP and O2

I think it is C. The kidney is the most over perfused organ in the body and so even if the blood flow increases the oxygen consumption should still stay the same. Please let me know if I am completely wrong...

d
because na reabsorbtion is the main metabolic process in the kidney,so the greater na the greater the o2 consumption.and since filtrate load of na is GFR*PLASMA CONCENTRATION, then ,yes,the o2 consumption is directly related to the na reabsorbed.

I was thinking abt. E but E is not quite correct (max O2 consumption is in OUTER medulla where max O2 is consumed during active Na absorption).
So the correct answer is D.
