How does ADH reduce water loss in urine?

Correct answer A. It makes the distal tubule and collecting duct more permeable to water

ADH causes water channels (aquaporins) to be inserted into the membranes of distal tubule and collecting duct cells. More water is reabsorbed osmotically into the hypertonic medulla.
