Solution

The correct option is D Hyposecretion of vasopressin
Diabetes insipidus is an abnormal condition where the body produces a large amount of urine causing excessive thirst. It is caused when the kidneys are unable to conserve water. It can be caused by low or absent secretion of the water-balance hormone vasopressin from the pituitary gland of the brain. It is also known as an Antidiuretic hormone(ADH). Thus the correct answer is option D.
