Solution

The correct option is A Antidiuretic hormone
Vasopressin, also known as the antidiuretic hormone, is synthesized by hypothalamus. It is stored and released by posterior pituitary gland which is also called the master gland.

Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and prolactin are synthesized and released by anterior pituitary under the influence of releasing hormones secreted by hypothalamus.
