Solution
The hormone that affects urination is vasopressin.
Explanation:
Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, vasopressin, sometimes known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), regulates the osmotic pressure of bodily fluids. It stimulates water reabsorption in the nephrons and returns it into the body's blood flow. Thus, less urine is produced, and it is more concentrated in the kidneys.
