Solution
The correct option is D ADH The reabsorption of water in the kidneys is under the control of ADH. It triggers the release of aldosterone which increases the concentration of sodium ions in the blood. The increased sodium concentration in the blood increases the blood osmotic potential which further increases the reabsorption of water into the collecting tubule.
