Solution

The correct option is A ADH
The neurohypophysis is the site of oxytocin and vasopressin (Antidiuretic hormone - ADH) hormone production, which are mainly controlled by the neurons that extend from the hypothalamus. On the other hand, the adrenaline and cortisol are released from the adrenal gland, while the glucagon is released from the alpha cells of the pancreas.
