Solution

The correct option is C ADH
Vasopressin (ADH) is a peptide hormone, secreted from the posterior pituitary, increases water permeability of the kidney's collecting duct and distal convoluted tubule by inducing translocation of aquaporin-CD water channels in the collecting duct plasma membrane. Thus, increases the water absorption in the collecting duct and helps in water retaintion in the body.
