Solution

The correct option is A True
ADH facilitates water reabsorption from latter parts of the tubule, thereby preventing diuresis. Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na+ and water from the distal parts of the tubule. Hence, both ADH and aldosterone control reabsorption of water in the nephron.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
