Solution

The correct option is C Increases
Micturition is the process of urination. The kidneys respond to ADH by conserving water and producing urine that is more concentrated. If there is too little ADH or the kidneys do not respond to ADH, then too much water is lost through the kidneys. Thus the micturition increases. The urine produced is more dilute than normal and the blood becomes more concentrated. This can cause excessive thirst, frequent urination, dehydration, and high blood sodium (hypernatremia).
