What is the function of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?

a. During times of increased solute concentrations, ADH causes nephrons to absorb water faster. b. During times of higher solute concentrations, ADH causes more water to be released from the nephrons to be reabsorbed by the blood. c. Low levels or the absence of ADH in the blood are the brain's response to thirst. d. ADH is the only hormone that provides a system of control over the kidney as an osmoregulator for urine production. e. ADH controls the rate that filtrate moves from the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule.
