Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. aldosterone.

It is mineralocorticoid which is a steroid hormone that signals the kidney to prevent sodium ion and water in case of low blood pressure and volume in vessels. To save the water and ion of salts it promotes the reabsorption and leads to low urine output.
