The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which hormone controls the reabsorption of sodium ions (Na^+), we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question is asking about the regulation of sodium ion reabsorption in the kidneys. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **(a) Vasopressin or ADH**: This hormone primarily regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys, not sodium. - **(b) Aldosterone**: This hormone is known to regulate sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. It acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion. - **(c) Renin**: This enzyme is involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) but does not directly control sodium reabsorption. - **(d) Rennin**: This is just an alternative spelling of renin and has the same function as option (c). 3. **Conclusion**: The hormone that primarily controls the reabsorption of sodium ions in the kidneys is **aldosterone**. Therefore, the correct answer is **(b) Aldosterone**.
