The correct option is B Aldosterone
(A) Thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH is secreted by the thyroid gland. The hormone promotes growth and function of the thyroid gland.
(B) Aldosterone Acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.
(C) FSH stimulates growth and development of the ovarian follicles in females.
(D) LH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of hormones called androgens.
So the correct answer is aldosterone.
