The answer is the second one: Reabsorption of water.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Sodium reabsorption: This action is primarily promoted by aldosterone, not vasopressin.
  2. Reabsorption of water: Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), promotes the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, specifically in the collecting ducts.
  3. Tubular secretion of sodium: This is not an action promoted by vasopressin. Tubular secretion of sodium is influenced by other factors, including aldosterone.
  4. Red blood cell production: This process, known as erythropoiesis, is stimulated by erythropoietin, not vasopressin.

Summary: Vasopressin promotes the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.
