A
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
B
Angiotensin II
C
Atrial Natruiretic Peptide
D
Aldosterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hormone that helps blood vessels constrict and helps the kidneys control the amount of water and salt in the body. This helps control blood pressure and the amount of urine that is made.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps regulate the amount of water in your body. It works to control the amount of water your kidneys reabsorb as they filter out waste from your blood. This hormone is also called arginine vasopressin (AVP).

Detailed explanation-4: -Low levels of anti-diuretic hormone will cause the kidneys to excrete too much water. Urine volume will increase leading to dehydration and a fall in blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-5: -ADH is released by the pituitary gland when the blood is too concentrated and it causes the kidney tubules to become more permeable . This allows more water to be reabsorbed back into the blood during selective reabsorption.
