Hormone that maintains/reabsorbs the water in the body.
A
Norepinephrine
B
Adrenaline
C
Melatonin
D
ADH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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) induces water retention by increasing the permeability of nephrons. Its influence on water permeability occurs primarily by regulating aquaporin 2 water channels in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney (Kwon et al., 2001).

Detailed explanation-4: -ADH primarily affects the ability of the kidney to reabsorb water; when present, ADH induces expression of water transport proteins in the late distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Several disease states arise when the body loses control of ADH secretion or responds to its presence.
