Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is responsible for water reabsorption in the kidneys, decreasing urine production. Alcohol inhibits the release of ADH, leading to increased urine production and dehydration. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. The other options are incorrect as ADH decreases urine production, promotes water retention, is produced in the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland), and is inhibited by alcohol.
