Easy

A

reduction in insulin secretion from pancreas
B

reduction in vasopressin secretion from posterior pituitary
C

fall in the glucose concentration in urine
D

increase in secretion of glucagon

Solution

An impairment affecting synthesis or release of ADH results in a diminished ability of the kidney to conserve water leading to water loss and dehydration. This condition is known as Diabetes Insipidus. Vasopressin acts mainly at the kidney and stimulates resorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules and thereby reduces loss of water through urine (diuresis). Hence, it is also called as anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).
