Solution

The correct answer is "increase; less".

Here's why:

ADH stands for Antidiuretic Hormone. It's a hormone that helps your kidneys manage the amount of water in your body. The main way it does this is by adjusting the amount of water that your kidneys reabsorb as they filter your blood.

When the level of ADH increases, it causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water. This means that less water is left over to become urine, so the amount of urine that the kidneys produce decreases. Therefore, an increase in ADH causes the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of water,
