Thalamus
Thorax

Explanation

Answer - C - Osmoreceptors are located in the hypothalamus. The osmoreceptors monitor for changes in the osmolarity of the blood. When the blood has less fluid, the osmoreceptors stimulate the release of anti-diuretic hormones, which stimulates water re-absorption in the kidneys.
