(B) The statement is False.
$ADH$ (Antidiuretic Hormone),also known as vasopressin,is released by the posterior pituitary gland.
Its primary function is to increase the reabsorption of water from the distal convoluted tubule $(DCT)$ and the collecting duct of the nephron into the blood.
By promoting water reabsorption,$ADH$ reduces the volume of water excreted in the urine,thereby concentrating the urine and making it hypertonic,not hypotonic.
