Final answer:

Norepinephrine (option D) is the neurotransmitter that inhibits its own reuptake, leading to vasoconstriction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The substance that inhibits norepinephrine reuptake and thereby induces vasoconstriction is (D) Norepinephrine. This neurotransmitter binds to alpha and beta receptors, causing various physiological effects, including vasoconstriction and increasing heart rate. Norepinephrine, along with epinephrine, belongs to the adrenergic neurotransmitter system and is transported back into the presynaptic cell, a process that can be inhibited to increase its levels in the synaptic cleft and intensify its effects.
