Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that play a key role in regulating sodium and water balance in the body. When aldosterone levels increase, it promotes sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidneys. This leads to increased sodium retention and water reabsorption, which helps in regulating blood pressure and maintaining fluid balance. Hence,  the correct answer is option 1.
