Solution
The correct option is C Vasopressin Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone present in the kidney. As a result of its secretion by the pituitary gland, it creates high water permeability in collecting duct. Thus, as the permeability of duct increases, more water is absorbed through it. So, it increases the reabsorption of water from Glomerular Filtrate.
