Solution

The correct option is B VIP
Watery diarrhoea, hypokalemia, achlorhydria, is caused by overproduction of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) which stimulates fluid and electrolyte secretion in the intestinal epithelium via activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate pathway. Hence, Hypokalemia is caused by the overproduction of VIP.
So, the correct answer is 'VIP'.
