The posterior pituitary contains two hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin, which are produced by the hypothalamus. Vasopressin, known as an antidiuretic hormone, causes water reabsorption from the distal convoluted tubule and prevents water loss. Therefore, Posterior pituitary – Vasopressin stimulates the reabsorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron making option 3 the correct answer.
