The answer to this question would be: A) hypothalamus; posterior pituitary

The hypothalamus produces many kinds of a hormone that will activate a cascade of metabolism. One of them is vasopressin and oxytocin. Vasopressin will end up in kidney and heart, causing the body to keep water and lowering the urine output. Oxytocin is used for releasing breastmilk.
