The mineralocorticoid hormone of the adrenal cortex which causes retention of sodium and potassium excretion is

Acting on the nuclear mineralocorticoid receptors within the cells of the distal tubule and the collecting conduit of the order nephron, aldosterone upregulates and activates the Na/k.

This creates a attention grade, which results in reabsorption of sodium ions and water into the blood, and stashing of potassium ions into the urine( lumen of collecting conduit).

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
