Dear Student,

◆ Answer - (b)

Reabsorbtion of water in the kidney is mainly controlled by Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

● Extra information -

• ADH is produced by hypothalamus and stored in posterior pituitary gland.
• In case of hypovolemia, posterior pituitary releases ADH.
• ADH causes reabsorption of water leading to retention of water.
• This is how ADH maintains water balance in the body.
