Solution

The correct option is C Diabetes
Diabetes is caused by the deficiency of a pancreatic hormone, insulin. This results in a failure to metabolise sugar. As a result, sugar accumulates in the blood. Some of the glucose is excreted in the urine along with water. As a result there is excessive urination and dehydration, which causes excessive thirst.
