The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hormone**: The question asks about vasopressin, which is also known as Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). It is produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. 2. **Understand the Functions of Vasopressin**: - Vasopressin primarily acts on the kidneys. - Its main role is to conserve water in the body by stimulating the reabsorption of water in the nephron tubules. 3. **Analyze the Options Given**: - **Controlling Oogenesis**: Oogenesis is the formation of ova (egg cells) in females. Vasopressin does not play a role in this process. - **Regulating Blood Pressure**: Vasopressin can constrict blood vessels, which helps in regulating blood pressure. This is one of its key functions. - **Act on Nephron Tubules**: Vasopressin acts on the nephron tubules to promote water reabsorption, which is a direct action of the hormone. - **Regulating the Formation of Pigment**: This is not a function of vasopressin. - **Controlling Spermatogenesis**: Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm formation, which is not influenced by vasopressin. 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct functions of vasopressin are: - Regulating blood pressure. - Acting on nephron tubules to conserve water. Thus, the correct answer is that vasopressin is responsible for regulating blood pressure and acting on nephron tubules. ### Final Answer: Vasopressin is responsible for regulating blood pressure and acting on nephron tubules to conserve water. ---
