The answer is the third one (C): Vasopressin.

Explanation for each option:

  • Intermedin: This is another name for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), not antidiuretic hormone.

  • Aldosterone: This is a hormone that helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body, but it is not the same as antidiuretic hormone.

  • Vasopressin: This is another name for antidiuretic hormone (ADH). It helps regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.

  • Oxytocin: This is a hormone involved in childbirth and lactation, and it is not the same as antidiuretic hormone.

In summary, vasopressin is the correct alternative name for antidiuretic hormone.
