"Decrease in bladder capacity" is definitely correct and probably the answer they are looking for.

I would argue that "decrease in cardiac output" and "decrease in number of nephrons" can also do it by causing edema (fluid retention) when the person is upright which is then excreted at night when the person lies down flat.
