When fluid intake is LOW, ADH is secreted, causing:
Options
A Less reabsorption and more dilute urine
B Stimulation of reabsorption of water in the nephron — decreased and more concentrated urine output
Correct Answer
C Increased glomerular filtration rate
D Increased urine volume
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

When fluid intake is low, ADH is secreted, stimulating reabsorption of water in the nephron. This results in decreased urine output that is more concentrated, conserving water to maintain hydration.

This hormone increases water reabsorption, producing less but more concentrated urine.
