D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, which prevents dehydration, or the kidney’s inability to respond to ADH. ADH enables the kidneys to retain water in the body. The hormone is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus.

Detailed explanation-2: -In rare cases, the kidneys do not respond to AVP. This causes a specific form of diabetes insipidus called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. People feel thirsty as the body tries to compensate for the increased loss of water by increasing the amount of water taken in.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a chemical called vasopressin (AVP), which is also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Detailed explanation-4: -Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition caused by hyposecretion of, or insensitivity to the effects of, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP).

Detailed explanation-5: -Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is caused by a defect in the renal tubules. This defect leads to a decreased response to ADH, resulting in dilute urine.
