Which of the following does not favour the formation of large quantities of dilute urine?
A Alcohol
B Caffeine
C Renin
D Atrial-natriuretic factor

Renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is converted to angiotensin II.
This increases reabsorption of $Na^+$ and water, raising blood pressure and producing concentrated urine — not dilute urine.
