Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Aldosterone is secreted by the outer layer of the adrenal gland. When aldosterone is present in the blood, all the `Na^(+)` in the filterate is reabsorbed by the epithelial cells of DCT and collecting duct. Retaining `Na^(+) ` raises the osmotic pressure of the blood and reduces water loss from the body
