Correct option is D

The Correct Answer is: D) Vasopressin
Explanation:
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) is also known as Vasopressin. It is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in regulating the body's water balance.
ADH increases water reabsorption in the kidneys’ collecting ducts, thereby reducing urine output and helping the body conserve water, especially during dehydration.
Additional Information (Other Options):
  • Gastrin: A digestive hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid in the stomach.

  • Pancreozymin (CCK): Stimulates the pancreas to release digestive enzymes and the gallbladder to release bile.

  • Testosterone: A male sex hormone responsible for secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive function.
