Solution

The correct option is B ADH
Vasopressin primarily acts on kidneys. The main function of this hormone is to increase the rate of reabsorption of water from the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of nephrons. Therefore it is also known as antidiuretic hormone(ADH). Hence option B is the correct answer.
