The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- The corpus luteum produces progesterone, not estrogen, and supports pregnancy.
- Thyroid gland secretes thyroxine, which regulates metabolism, not blood calcium levels.
- Oxytocin, from the anterior pituitary, aids in uterine contractions during labor.
- Vasopressin from the posterior pituitary regulates water balance by promoting reabsorption of water in the kidneys.
Hence, the correct match is Posterior pituitary – Vasopressin – Stimulates reabsorption of water from the Distal Convoluted Tubule.
