D Correct answer
Explanation

Aldosterone helps in the reabsorbtion of Na+ and water in the distal part of the renal tubule, hence it increases GFR and regulates urine volume. ADH or vasopressin increases blood pressure and regulates blood volume. Both of them perform together and one’s function gives feedback to the other.
