Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

Vasopressin or pitressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted from neurohypophysis of pituitary gland. Hyposecretion of this hormone causes diabetes insipidus. Addison’s disease is a condition of chronic adrenal cortex insufficiency caused due to hyposecretion of all adrenal cortex hormones. Deficiency disorder of parathormone, secreted by parathyroid glands, is tetany and deficiency of calcitonin, secreted from thyroid gland results in disturbance of calcium level.
