What is the function of ADH?
A
decreases reabsorption of water and salts
B
increases reabsorption of hydrogen ions
C
increase reabsorption of salts
D
increases reabsorption of water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -[2] Therefore, slight elevations in osmolarity result in the secretion of ADH . ADH then acts primarily in the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, thus returning the osmolarity to baseline.

Detailed explanation-2: -Higher concentrations of anti-diuretic hormone cause blood vessels to constrict (become narrower) and this increases blood pressure. A deficiency of body fluid (dehydration) can only be finally restored by increasing water intake.
