Correct option is C, Direct delivery without dilution. In Endocrinology, the accurate description is Direct delivery without dilution, and that is what you should commit to memory.

That is why Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
