• B. renal reabsorption of water is reduced
• C. large volumes of hypotonic urine is excreted
• D. glucose appears in the urine

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

glucose appears in the urine

Diabetes inspidus is a condition characterized by large amounts of dilute urine and increased thirst. The amount of urine produced can be nearly 20 liters per day. Reduction of fluid has little effect on the concentration of the urine. There are for types of DI, each with a different set of causes. Central DI is caused due to lack of hormone vasopressin (ADH).

So the correct answer is glucose appears in the urine.
