Solution

The correct option is C Urine formation
Vasopressin is a hormone formed in the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland in mammals. It controls water retention through reduction of urine output. When the body is dehydrated, it uses vasopressin to regulate water in the body. By reducing and concentrating the amount of urine discarded, the hormone helps the body to reabsorb available water.
