Solution

The correct option is C ADH (Anti Diuretic Hormone)
ADH targets nephrons in kidney to increase water reabsorption and thereby decreasing water content in urine. Inability of neurohypophysial system to produce ADH causes excess urine production with resultant ion loss from blood. This condition is known as diabetes insipidus (watery urine).
