Assume that the rate of hydrogen ion secretion along the nephron was the same for each student. The student who drank soda produced urine with the highest pH because:

A. his blood had fewer hydrogen ions.
B. water stayed in the nephron rather than being absorbed back into the blood, so that the concentration of hydrogen ions was low.
