Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Antidiuretic hormone is another name of vasopressin, a peptide hormone secreted from posterior pituitary. Hence, assertion is wrong.
ADH stimulates water reabsorption in kidneys which results in decreased rate of urine production while oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth. Hence, reason is also wrong.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
