**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the hormone that facilitates the reabsorption of water from the distal parts of the tubules in the nephron. 2. **Identifying the Nephron Structure**: The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney, consisting of various parts including the glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule (DCT), and collecting duct. 3. **Focusing on the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)**: The DCT is where conditional reabsorption of sodium and water occurs. This is a crucial area for the regulation of water balance in the body. ...
