Answer:

The correct answer is Aldosterone

Step-by-step explanation:

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that is secreted from the adrenal cortex.Aldosterone helps in the excretion of potassium ions from our body.

That means if potassium sparing diuretics increase urination witout loss of potassium ion from our body then these diuretics will have to work against receptor foe aldosterone.
