In what way does caffeine affect the urinary system?

A. Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. B. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the glomerular capsule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. C. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to reabsorb urine formation. D. Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the distal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation. E. Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb more water which leads to a decreased amount of urine formation.
