Solution

The cause of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus among the options provided is C. Lithium.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a kidney-related condition that results in excessive thirst and urination. It occurs when your kidneys can't respond properly to the hormone that regulates water balance in your body (antidiuretic hormone or ADH).

  2. Among the options provided, Fluoxetine, Haloperidol, Lithium, and Diazepam, only Lithium is known to cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

  3. Lithium is a medication used to treat bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions. It can cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by affecting the ability of the kidneys to respond to ADH. This can lead to an inability to concentrate urine, resulting in excessive urination and thirst.

  4. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Lithium.
