Solution

The correct option is D ADH
The term diuresis refers to the excessive production of urine. When excess water is lost through urine the blood volume is decreased and its osmolarity is increased which stimulates the posterior pituitary to release ADH.ADH decreases the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorption by kidneys and prevents diuresis. Hence it is also called antidiuretic hormone.
So, the correct answer is 'ADH'.
