D) Addison's disease

Answer 1

The abnormal condition that results from the lack of ADH release, causing huge amounts of very dilute urine to be voided, is called Diabetes insipidus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The abnormal condition that results from the lack of ADH release, causing huge amounts of very dilute urine to be voided, is called Diabetes insipidus. Chronic underproduction of ADH or a mutation in the ADH receptor leads to this condition. When the posterior pituitary does not release enough ADH, water cannot be retained by the kidneys and is lost as urine, resulting in increased thirst and chronic dehydration in severe cases.
