Answer

a. ADH hypersecretion

Work Step by Step

ADH hypersectetion can cause hypotonic hydration. ADH increases water reabsorption without increasing sodium levels (decreases sodium concentration). Hypotonic hydration is caused by an excess of water and reduced osmolarity (reduced sodium concentration). Aldosterone has little effect on urine output.
