Answer:

The correct answer is option 4. Hyponatremia due to water intoxication

Explanation:

Drinking an excessive amount of liquid or water in a short period of time can be dangerous for the individual. Excess amount of water in the body can result in a drop in salt or sodium in the blood. That's a condition called hyponatremia call which can be very serious and can be fatal too.

The drinking extreme level of water which can be lethal to an individual is called water toxication.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4. Hyponatremia due to water intoxication.

What affects the focal point, leading to near- or far-sightedness?
-BARSIC- [3]

Near sightedness is a condition whereby the eyeball is too long or cornea has excess curvature such that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather on the retina itself.

The exact cause of nearsightedness is unknown but there are two factors that may be responsible  for its development.

1. Visual stress

2. Heredity

Individuals who spend considerable time reading or working at a computer or engage in other types of intense close visual work may develop nearsightedness.

There is credible evidence that many people inherit nearsightedness or are at least  predisposed to the condition, especially if both parents suffer from the condition.

Far sightedness (hyperopia) is a condition where the eye is shorter than normal, the cornea is not curved quite enough or the lens sits further back in the eye than is normal.

This condition can be inherited especially if both parents suffer from it.

The other cause is through diseases like diabetes or glaucoma.
