Solution

The correct option is A Conservation of water
Vasopressin/antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by posterior pituitary gland and targets nephron tubules to increase water reabsorption and thereby decreasing water content in urine while increasing that of blood. Increased water concentration in blood raises blood volume and blood pressure. It makes the urine concentrated. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
