Solution

The correct option is B False
ADH or antidiuretic hormone is produced in the hypothalamus and secreted from the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland). ADH increases the reabsorption of water from the urine in the renal system back into the blood. Thus ADH conserves water in the kidneys and returns that fluid back to the general circulation.
So the correct answer is 'False'.
