Solution
The correct option is A ADH Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary glands. It absorbs water from the renal tubule thereby conserving water in our body. It constantly regulates and balances the water level of the body. Osmotic sensors and baroreceptors join with ADH in water metabolism.
Insulin helps to control blood glucose levels whereas glucagon works to increase the sugar level in the bloodstream.
