A hormone is under negative feedback regulation. This hormone stimulates water retention by the body. Which of the following will happen if water levels in the body get too high?
1) hormone levels will increase
2) hormone levels will decrease
3) antibodies will form
4) the kidneys will filter out more urea
I think #2 but not sure, can you check?

To determine the answer, let's analyze the question. It states that the hormone is under negative feedback regulation, meaning that its levels are regulated to maintain a balance in the body.
In this case, the hormone stimulates water retention by the body. Therefore, when water levels in the body get too high, the negative feedback mechanism will work to decrease the hormone levels.
Option 2) hormone levels will decrease is the correct answer.
The negative feedback mechanism operates as follows: When water levels in the body are high, the hypothalamus in the brain senses this change and sends a signal to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland then reduces the release of the hormone that stimulates water retention. As a result, the hormone levels decrease, which subsequently reduces water retention by the body.
So, to answer your question, option 2) hormone levels will decrease is the correct choice.
