Bound to neurophysin-I
B
Bound to neurophysin-II

High-Yield Explanation
ADH is produced by the magnocellular neurons arising bilaterally in the supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus. These neurons project through the pituitary stalk to posterior lobe of pituitary. From there in response to appropriate stimulus, ADH in the free form is released into the circulation and is carried with serum protein globulin to the target organs.
