Answer:

The correct answer is option D- Distal convulated tubule and collecting duct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone or ADH is a hormone that helps to maintain the amount of water in your body.

The hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland which controls the kidney to balance the water content in the body as it helps reduce the loss of water in the urine.

ADH hormone increases the permeability of the membrane by stimulating the insertion of "water channels" or aquaporins in the membranes of kidney tubules mainly Distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. These aquaporins help the reabsorption of water thus reducing the loss of water from the body.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
