Solution

The correct option is B A-osmoreceptors, B- hypothalamus
Osmoreceptors are responsible for sensing the increase in ionic concentration and descrease in water concentration. These receptors are located in the hypothalmus.
The hypothalamus stimulates the neurohypophysis to release ADH. This causes the increase in the glomerular filtration rate(GFR).
