Solution

The correct option is A Aldosterone
The zona glomerulosa which is a part of the adrenal gland is principally responsible for the secretion of aldosterone, under the regulation of the renin-angiotensin system. Aldosterone causes an increase in salt and water reabsorption into the bloodstream from the kidney thereby increasing the blood volume, restoring salt levels and blood pressure.
So, the correct option is 'Aldosterone'.
