    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by hypothalamus of the brain and released into the blood from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

When ADH is released in smaller amounts, diuresis increases, urine becomes diluted, ie, called diabetes insipidus.
