Detailed Solution

  1. Additionally, blood volume affects how much urine is produced. 
  2. More water is reabsorbed in the distal convoluted tubules when the blood volume drops too low. 
  3. The amount of water squeezed out in the glomerulus rises when blood pressure rises as a result of larger blood volumes. 
  4. As a result, the volume of urine formation is regulated by both ADH and blood volume regulation. 
  5. The amount of water lost through perspiration, especially during hot weather or after vigorous physical activity, is one of the additional factors that alter urine volume. 
  6. Because Na+ needs enough water in a solution to be eliminated effectively, high salt diets enhance urine production.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
