Solution

The correct option is B Vasopressin
Vasopressin promotes reabsorption of water from distal convoluted tubules of nephrons, reducing the excretion of water in urine. It increases blood pressure by contracting the blood vessels in several tissues.
Thus it is released during conditions like hypertension or low blood pressure, to elevate the level.
So, the correct answer is option C.
