Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In the nephron,the descending limb of the loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes.
Statement $II$: The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Which of the following is mismatched?

$I.$ Reabsorption of water occurs passively in the initial segment of nephron.
$II.$ Nitrogenous wastes are absorbed by active transport.
$III.$ Conditional reabsorption of $Na^{+}$ and water takes place in $DCT$.
$IV.$ $DCT$ reabsorbs glucose.
$V.$ $DCT$ is capable of selective secretion of $H^{+}$,$K^{+}$ and $NH_{3}$ to maintain $pH$ and $Na^{+}-K^{+}$ balance in blood.
$VI.$ Substances like glucose,amino acids,$Na^{+}$,etc.,in the filtrate are reabsorbed actively.
