A
Aldosterone and cortisol
B
Thyroxine and calcitonin
C
Parathyroid and thymosin
D
Oxytocin and ADH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your posterior pituitary interacts directly with your hypothalamus since your hypothalamus creates oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin) and sends signals to your posterior pituitary about when to store and release the hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland. Certain types of tumors may release high amounts of antidiuretic hormone, which can cause low levels of sodium in the blood and the body to retain water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water the kidneys reabsorb while they are filtering wastes out of the blood.
