Solution

The correct option is D ANP
The hormone antagonist to aldosterone means the hormone having opposite function to that of aldosterone. ANP (Atrial natriuretic polypeptide) has the opposite effect of aldosterone on the kidney i.e aldosterone increases renal sodium retention and ANP increases renal sodium loss.
So, the correct answer is 'ANP'.
