Solution

The correct option is B If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion
ADH is secreted by pituitary gland. It increases the water permeability of distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules, hence, plays a significant role in water re-absorption. The absence of ADH will reduce water reabsorption which may lead to water diuresis or diabetes insipidus.
