Solution

The correct option is D ADH
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also called as vasopressin. It is released by the posterior pituitary gland. It retains water in the body by increasing the reabsorption of water in the collecting duct of kidneys. Parathormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands to regulate calcium concentration. Thyroxine hormone is secreted by thyroid glands and plays important roles in digestion, heart function, brain development and maintenance of bones. Renin is secreted by kidneys and it regulates blood pressure.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
