Solution

The correct option is B hypothalamus
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a substance produced in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary gland is also known as the neurohypophysis. This lobe releases the hormone ADH secreted by the hypothalamus.
