Solution

The correct option is C Diabetes insipidus
The hereditary form of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is the result of an X-linked genetic defect, which causes the vasopressin receptor (also called as the $V_{2}$ receptor) in the kidney to not function correctly
So, the correct answer is 'Diabetes insipidus'
