Solution
The correct option is B Aldosterone and ADH Aldosterone of adrenal cortex serves to stimulate renal reabsorption of sodium ions and water thereby increasing the blood volume and excretion of potassium. Vasopressin/antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by posterior pituitary gland and targets nephrons to increase water reabsorption and thereby decreasing water content in urine. This makes options A and C incorrect and D correct.
Testosterone is androgen that stimulates synthesis of structural proteins of skeletal muscles and bones, causes voice deepening, the growth of facial, axillary and pubic hairs i.e., the secondary sexual characters in males. Option B is incorrect.
