Solution

The correct option is B Source gland- Posterior pituitary, Hormone- Vasopressin, Function- Stimulates reabsorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron
Vasopressin is released by posterior pituitary. It stimulates reabsorption of water in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts in the nephron. Oxytocin is released by posterior pituitary. Corpus luteum secretes progesterone. Calcitonin released by thyroid gland regulates blood calcium level.
