The correct option is A ADH Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) is a vasopressin, made by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH actions on the kidney to boost up water reabsorption thus inhibits its loss in the urine. A diuretic is a promoter that raises the amount of urine formation. When the small amount of anti-diuretic hormone is injected into the body of animals or person, this results in the reduction of urine formation, and the hormone is named based on this kind of effect
So, the correct answer is 'ADH'
