Answer»

Correct option is (a) Thirst from dehydration

To EXPLAIN I would say: Hyperglycaemia acts as an osmotic diuretic and thus increased the frequency of URINATION. This leads to thirst from dehydration and the PATIENT tends to DRINK a lot of WATER. Polyuria is frequent urination. Hunger and frequent eating is polyphagia. Polydipsia is thirst from dehydration.
