Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drinking a large amount of water over a short period of time would not cause an increase in any of the given hormones. In fact, it would cause a decrease in the levels of vasopressin and aldosterone as they help in conserving water in the body, which is not required if a large amount of water has been consumed. Renin and angiotensin II are involved in regulating blood volume and pressure, but they would not be affected by a sudden increase in water intake. Therefore, the correct answer is E, none of the above.
