Solution

The correct option is D ADH
  • FSH is produced by the anterior pituitary and it helps in the maturation of follicles in males and females.
  • Anti Diuretic Hormone(ADH) is released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland which is also called vasopressin. It increases the reabsorption of water by kidneys.
  • ACTH is also known as an adrenocorticotropic hormone. It is produced from the anterior pituitary and it stimulates the adrenal glands to produce adrenal hormones.
  • MSH is known as melanocytes stimulating hormone which helps in the stimulation of the melanocyte. It is produced by the anterior pituitary.
So, the correct answer is option B.
